The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office has charged him with insurance fraud and theft by deception in a bogus insurance claim.
Alexander Goldinsky, 57, was charged with one count of insurance fraud in the third degree and one count of theft by deception in the third degree for fraudulently filing an insurance claim in a fake slip and fall he orchestrated at a company in Woodbridge, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor Office's press release.
