The former financial manager of the Elizabeth Fry Society’s Prince George chapter is spending the next two-and-a-half years behind bars.
Rhonda Lee Bailey was sentenced in Prince George Court today (Tuesday).
According to the BC Courts Registry, she was charged with fraud over $5,000 after using a pair of credit cards issued by the non-profit where Bailey ran up $240,000 in personal expenses.
The BC Prosecution Service noted the offence dates were January 1, 2013 to March 30, 2018.
During an audit in 2018, discrepancies were noted.
A banker’s box was discovered under Bailey’s work desk which contained missing credit card documents. From there an investigation was conducted which revealed over a thousand unauthorized credit card purchases over that five-year period.
In addition, the court ordered her to pay restitution for the exact amount that was spent.
Some of the purchases ranged from flights, hotels and, online shopping.
