Eric Rego, a former after-school services coordinator for the Mt. Diablo Unified School District in Contra Costa County, was charged by a federal grand jury with three counts of mail fraud in connection with an alleged multi-million-dollar fraud scheme. Rego, a resident of El Dorado Hills, was arrested Tuesday and was scheduled to appear in federal district court in Sacramento on Wednesday, said U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California Ismail Ramsey in a press statement.

The complaint says Rego allegedly directed an employee of the nonprofit to submit monthly invoices that included the cost of the electronic devices, which he approved and submitted to the district for payment while falsely representing that the invoices were for expenses incurred from operating the program.
If convicted, Rego faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for each count of mail fraud, although any sentence would be subject to federal sentencing guidelines.
