Earlier this week an 28 Year old woman from the United Kingdom was given one year in Jail. This sentence came after the UK Woman was found guilty of stealing a massive amount of money so that she could fund her online gambling addiction problems that she still has to this day.
Joanne Sharp, the 28 Year Old UK Woman was sentenced by the Peterborough Crown Court after she admitted to her fraud crimes. She stole a total of £65,000 from her company and to this day she has only paid back a total of £9,000.
Miss. Sharp committed her crimes back in 2009. At the time Miss. Sharp was working as a clerk for a local church in her city, during his employment she took it upon herself to forge various checks in order to receive money to gamble with online. Sharp was eventually caught when the churches bank was sent an inquiry relating to the checks that she had signed. This resulted in the police being called, Miss. Sharp being taken into custody and eventually her sentencing which occurred only this week.
The Recorder in the Sentencing trail, Angela Rafferty commented on the results of this case saying, “This offense is considered to be serious for the fact that Miss. Sharp stole from a church. One year in prison cannot be justified and we hope that her punishment becomes more strict with a new ruling.”
This shows how upset people are over Miss. Sharps actions towards the church.
