Former St. Patrick’s Parish bookkeeper Dianne Coady, 69, is heading to jail for defrauding her long-time employer of more than $300,000.
Coady, who defrauded the St. John’s parish over a span of about five years, offered no explanation for her frauds when she appeared in provincial court on Monday.
Judge Lois Skanes sentenced Coady to 14 months in jail, followed by a two-year probation term.
She was also ordered to pay back the $306,000 that was determined to have gone missing in an audit.
During her sentencing in St. John’s provincial court, Skanes said Coady was in a position of trust at the time and showed no remorse for what she did.
