SANDY -- More details are coming out in the case of a Sandy woman accused of tricking a disabled Walmart employee into opening credit lines to buy thousands of dollars in jewelry and other gifts for her.
Meanwhile, her alleged victim, Mike, spoke exclusively with KSL Newsradio. He has a message he wants her to hear.
Mike said, "Please grow up and act your age and not do [this] to other people."
When Sara Delamro approached Mike in his cashier line, he says she told him her last name was Colton.
"I think that's wrong for anyone to take advantage of someone." He added, "I thought she was just being nice and all that. I didn't think she would take advantage of me. I never knew."
After just two weeks of asking for Mike's phone number, he says she suggested the two should get married. He says she told him to keep the engagement quiet.
"[She said], ‘Don't tell your mom yet because we want to keep it a secret and surprise her.' Then she said, ‘We're going to go to Vegas and get married,'" Mike said.
Mike's mother, Ann, said, "At first he was very secretive with me and very protective of her."
Mike and Ann don't want to use their last names. Ann says she's furious someone would take advantage of her son, who has a very low IQ and reportedly has the attention span of a 9-year-old. She says her son really liked Delamro, who seemed to have a shopping list ready when she approached him.
Ann said, "She came to Walmart and took him, at lunch and took him around. She covered a good area in a short time. She knew what she wanted and what she was doing."
Ann says she has reason to think her son was not the only person victimized by Delamro. She believes a greeter at the same Walmart bought her a TV.
Delamro is facing five second-degree felony charges, which could land her one to 15 years in prison.
