Former CEO charged with embezzling $5.2M from a camp for sick kids co-founded by Paul Newman

The former CEO of a nonprofit camp for kids with serious medical conditions has been been charged with 15 felonies after prosecutors said he embezzled more than $5 million from the camp co-founded by Paul Newman. Christopher L. Butler, of Porter Ranch, California, is expected to be arraigned Thursday in Los Angeles. He could not be reached for comment. The Painted Turtle is one of many camps for children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses co-founded by the late actor Newman. A prosecutor said the alleged embezzlement was discovered after the organization's new controller spotted irregularities in the financial books last summer.
