A triathlete who pretended to be a wheelchair-dependent accident victim to receive state aid and collect an insurance policy has been convicted of two fraud charges.

A Henrico County Circuit Court judge convicted 33-year-old Samuel Aaron Brabson Tuesday of intent to commit larceny by fraud for trying to cash a $1.3 million accident insurance policy and fraud for receiving $100,000 in attendant care and equipment from the state Department of Rehabilitative Services.

Testimony over his four-day trial showed Brabson as an athlete who wooed women with mountain hikes and competed in a triathlon at the same time he told caregivers he could barely leave his wheelchair.

Brabson faces up to 15 years in prison when he is sentenced in August.
