NY Process Server Arrested

A process server has been arrested after investigators learned she had allegedly filed false affidavits to the Cattaraugus County clerk. 34-year-old Annette Forte of Alden, is accused of claiming she had served papers on people when she had not, leaving them with no notice of pending court actions against them. The charges are the result of investigations by the Cattaraugus County clerk’s and state attorney general’s offices. State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo says the victims had no idea that a court action had been brought against them and, because of that, were unable to defend themselves. Forte is free on her own recognizance. There's no word on how the judgments based on the false affidavits will be resolved.
