Salazar once accused of fraud by Keith Hernandez’ ex
A New York state Senate candidate seeking to join a wave of progressive challengers toppling incumbents was accused in 2011 of trying to fraudulently access a bank account belonging to the estranged wife of baseball great Keith Hernandez.
Julia Salazar, who is challenging state Sen. Martin Dilan of Brooklyn in next week’s Democratic primary, was arrested but never prosecuted in the case involving Kai Hernandez, who at the time was divorcing the baseball star.
Salazar later sued Kai Hernandez for defamation, saying she framed her because she falsely believed that she was having an affair with her husband.
