TN was charged with one count of ‘Embezzlement by a clerk/servant’ contrary to s 157 Crimes Act 1900. This offence carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment.
Christopher Cole represented TN on Sentence at Newtown Local Court. He made oral submissions and tendered character references on her behalf.
His Honour considered these submissions and ultimately, TN was Sentenced to a Community Corrections Order for a duration of 10 months.
This is a pleasing result for TN, as she is now able to move forward from this incident and commence a University degree in the New Year.
