Florida state lawmaker indicted on felony charges related to private school

A Republican state representative in central Florida has been indicted on felony forgery charges related to her role in running her family's private Christian school in Orlando. Carolina Amesty, 29, turned herself in to authorities at the Orange County Jail on Thursday and was booked on four felony counts. That is after a grand jury found that Amesty forged a man’s signature on a document that she notarized in 2021 while working as an administrator at her family’s Central Christian Academy, authorities said.
