The former director of national events for AARP has been charged with defrauding the group of tens of thousands of dollars to help pay for an affair with his boyfriend, according to court filings.

Bruce A. Sanders was charged with a single count of fraud and faces up to 10 years if convicted. Sanders was charged via

criminal information, meaning that a plea agreement with prosecutors is likely in the works because the document can only be filed with the defendant’s consent. He could not be reached Sunday.
