ST. LOUIS — A Pike County man is suing Jayna Stevenson of Germantown, Maryland, citing alleged breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, unlawful conversion and unjust enrichment.
Marc Wilson filed a complaint on Jan. 19 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri against Stevenson, alleging that the fiduciary breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that since 2012, Wilson has suffered actual damages in excess of $131,892, as well as physical and emotional pain and suffering, depression, hypertension, loss of sleep, diminished sense of self-worth and enjoyment of life, as a result of executing a power of attorney in favor of defendant. He fully entrusted her with his assets and finances while he serves his ten-year term of incarceration, the complaint states. Meanwhile, Stevenson sold his assets and kept the profits for her own enrichment and deliberately refused to pay for his property, which led to foreclosure.
Wilson holds Stevenson responsible because she allegedly manipulated his assets and properties and converted them for her personal use, and refused to pay his financial obligations despite having plaintiff's finances available to her.
Wilson requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against defendant, actual damages of $131,892, punitive damages of $50,000 and $75,000, costs, attorneys' fees and further relief deemed just. He is representing himself.
