Woman charged with forging checks to steal from a Delco Little League team
Robin Massing is accused of stealing more than $7,000 from the Media Little League.
A woman is facing multiple charges, including forgery, after stealing more than $7,000 from a Little League team in Delaware County.
Robin Massing, 57, was charged Tuesday, following an investigation into fraudulent checks.
Media Little League upper management contacted the Delaware District Attorney’s Office to report check fraud, telling authorites three checks were mailed on behalf of the organization and sent through a mailbox in Upper Providence Township, in May 2025.
In February, the Little League got word that one of the checks was deposited via mobile to Philadelphia Federal Credit Union for $7,200. But the amount, endorsement, and signature had been changed.
A month later, a Fulton Bank in Southampton contacted the Little League management to verify a payment they found suspicious, the District Attorney’s Office said.
Like the February check, the name and amount had also been changed, but the check number was the same as the February one, leading the bank to open its own investigation.
According to the District Attorney’s Office, the bank retrieved footage that identified Massing as the person behind the theft.
No lawyer is listed in court records for Massing, who was described in the affidavit as homeless.
In June 2025, Massing was detained in Chester County for producing and forging a check at TD Bank, the District Attorney’s Office said.
Now, Massing faces one count of forgery, bad checks, theft by unlawful taking, and receiving stolen property.
The Media Little League has been organizing and teaching baseball to the community since 1952. In 2023, they made it all the way to Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport.
“It is hard to imagine a more disappointing target for personal greed than an organization raising money for kids,” said District Attorney Tanner Rouse in a Wednesday statement.
The money was meant to go to uniforms, equipment, fields, and other resources for the kids, Rouse said.
“To steal those funds and use forged checks to divert money for personal benefit is not just a financial crime; it is a profound betrayal of the entire community,” Rouse said.
