HONOLULU (AP) — A woman who stole money from the accounts of a terminally ill man she was hired to care for has been sentenced to 15 months in federal prison.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports 54-year-old Terri Lee K. Pascua on Monday also was ordered to repay $16,672 to First Hawaiian Bank.
Pascua in February pleaded guilty to bank fraud for forging a Kau (kow) man’s signature on blank checks she had stolen from him
Federal prosecutors say the man hired Pascua in January 2012. Investigators say that within a month, Pascua had tried to steal $19,780 from the man’s accounts and succeeded in taking $16,672.
The man died later in 2012.
