The 10-count indictment, handed down by a grand jury in Seattle, calls for Kelley to forfeit more than $1 million he allegedly collected between June 2008 and January 2012 from fraud schemes involving his work for title companies.

Kelley described his actions as “squarely in line with industry practices.” He vowed to fight the charges and said he would not resign but will take a temporary leave of absence beginning May 1 and resume work “after I put these legal matters to rest.”
