Family Stands Firm Behind Dylan Simon Ahead of Sentencing

The family of Antiguan resident Dylan Simon says they are standing firmly behind him as he awaits sentencing following a recent High Court ruling.

Simon, who was found guilty on multiple charges including larceny, was convicted by Justice Stanley John after a trial in the High Court of Antigua and Barbuda. Sentencing has been scheduled for Thursday, December 11, 2025, before the same judge.
In a joint statement issued through their attorney, Simon’s family expressed unwavering support and reiterated their confidence in him.

“We’ve always stood behind Dylan, who has maintained his innocence throughout this legal ordeal,” the statement read. “No matter what, we will always believe in him, and nothing will break our shared bond or belief in his upstanding character. We respect the legal process and understand the court must do its due diligence. As this matter proceeds, we remain hopeful that the court will carefully consider all the facts presented and extend to Dylan appropriate fairness in its decision.”

Simon has been found guilty of six fraud-related offenses in a scheme that involved the theft and illegal sale of an SUV by manipulating company records.

He served as a clerk and sales representative at Hadeed Motors from 1998 until 2020 and was convicted by Justice Stanley John on several charges, including electronic forgery, forgery, uttering, larceny by a clerk, obtaining money by false pretenses, and money laundering. He has been remanded and is scheduled to return to court for sentencing on December 11.

This ruling represents Simon’s second conviction for similar offenses. In 2023, he received a $100,000 fine for electronic forgery in a separate case involving another vehicle from the same company.
