Deborah Lepage, 63, sentenced to 23 months in prison and $712K restitution for stealing $700K from Kia Sudbury over 7 years due to gambling addiction.
Deborah Lepage, 63, was sentenced to two years less a day in prison and three years of probation for stealing over $700,000 from Kia Sudbury Motors over seven years, where she worked as financial controller.
The fraud, driven by a gambling addiction that escalated from occasional bingo to daily spending of up to $2,000, involved diverting funds to personal accounts and issuing cheques to herself.
The thefts were uncovered in 2023 during an internal investigation.
Lepage must repay $712,547.42, complete 100 hours of community service, undergo treatment for gambling and mental health issues, avoid contact with the dealership, and provide a DNA sample.
The court rejected a conditional sentence due to the breach of trust and lack of evidence of rehabilitation.
