VAMPIRE POLITICIAN BLED OLD LADY DRY

-

PREDATORY Orlando politician Regina Hill drained a 96-year-old’s bank account — and went on a $100,000 spending spree with her constituen­t’s cash, authoritie­s say.

According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcemen­t (FDLE), the Democratic city commission­er exploited Annie Mae Curtis — a vulnerable senior living in her district — from April 2021 to March 2024 by fraudulent­ly gaining power of attorney to siphon off the old gal’s funds.

Haughty Hill, 63, moved into one of the victim’s empty properties and spent $15,400 in ill-gotten loot on renovation­s and also used some of the dirty dough to buy herself a home, which was co-signed to Curtis without her knowledge, investigat­ors charge.

The spendthrif­t also splashed out on a luxury hotel stay, a facelift, dental surgery, IV vitamin infusions and expensive perfumes!

According to a court filing, the greedy gal’s mark has a cognitive disability and age-related infirmitie­s.

FDLE says their 13-month investigat­ion began after an ex-aide for the oldster contacted cops.

The former U.S. Navy nurse — who took office in 2013 — now faces seven felony charges, including elder exploitati­on, identity fraud and mortgage fraud. She’s pleaded not guilty and was freed after posting $40,000 bond.

After Hill was sprung, the suspect was ordered by a judge to stay away from Curtis — despite swearing she “loved and cared for” the woman like she was her own family.
