Fraud in Steuben County
26 cases · Steuben County Courts · DCJS Data
Fraud cases in Steuben County result in conviction far more often than statewide patterns suggest. With an 83.3 percent conviction rate and only a 12.5 percent dismissal rate—12.4 percentage points below the state average—fraud charges here are pursued aggressively and rarely dropped before trial. No defendants were acquitted in the 26 cases reviewed, indicating cases that reach trial typically end in conviction. Cases take about six months to resolve on average.
Charge reductions occur in most fraud cases, but they rarely eliminate criminal exposure entirely. Sixty percent of defendants see their fraud charge reduced, predominantly to Petit Larceny (55.6 percent of reductions), though some are reduced to Identity Theft or Theft of Services instead. Among those convicted, outcomes are mixed: a quarter receive jail time, 20 percent face fines, and 15 percent receive probation. Release before trial is accessible—75 percent are released on recognizance without bail—but the 18.8 percent who have bail set face a median of $2,000.
Dismissal rate includes judicial dismissals and cases dismissed in the interest of justice. Conviction rate includes guilty pleas and findings of guilt at trial. Avg duration measures arraignment to final disposition. Data sourced from New York DCJS Pretrial Release Data. Last updated: March 2026
