Bookkeeper Sentenced for Stealing from Sick Boss | Liverpool News
Description
A bookkeeper convicted of stealing £50,000 from her terminally ill boss over two years, using his company card for flights, hotels, takeaways, and even a dog groomer — all while he battled stage four cancer — received a 38-month prison sentence. Initially blaming PayPal glitches, she later pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position, with court records spanning 170 pages of personal spending. The judge stressed the cruelty of her betrayal during his most vulnerable moments, forcing him to focus on finances instead of recovery. An audit uncovered the fraud, and despite her claims of accidental errors, prosecutors proved her actions were deliberate and sustained — leading to a custodial sentence and upcoming confiscation proceedings.
