Ted Maher, born on June 9, 1958, is an American former nurse who gained international media attention due to a high-profile criminal case in Monaco. As a personal nurse in the Monaco penthouse of billionaire banker Edmond Safra, Maher was convicted in 2002 of arson causing the 1999 fire that tragically claimed the lives of Safra and another caregiver.
Initially, Maher provided conflicting accounts of the circumstances surrounding the fire, which further fueled the media frenzy surrounding the case. He was subsequently sentenced to a ten-year prison term and served eight years behind bars before being released in October 2007.
Following his release, Maher's life continued to be marked by legal troubles. Under the pseudonym Jon Green, he faced multiple charges in the United States, including an unsuccessful plot to solicit the killing of his then-wife, Kim Lark.
