A Norwich man has pleaded guilty to wire fraud stemming from his involvement in an insurance fraud scheme.

Pierre Jeudy is the third individual to admit his role in the scheme, in which the perpetrators staged approximately 50 car crashes in southeastern Connecticut in order to defraud car insurance companies. The group collected payouts on the fraudulent claims ranging from about $10,000 to $30,000 per accident.

One of Jeudy’s co-conspirators admitted to the crime in mid-July and another in mid-August.

In pleading guilty, Jeudy admitted his personal involvement in a staged automobile crash in Norwich on Oct. 22, 2013.

Jeudy was arrested on May 20 and is released on bond. He is a citizen of Haiti and a lawful permanent resident of the U.S.

Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 29, 2016, at which time Juedy faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.
