A 47-year-old woman has been sentenced after pleading guilty to stealing over $2 million from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA), York Regional Police say.
Police said Georgina resident Jennifer Guertin pled guilty on Sept. 29 to theft over $5,000, breach of trust, two counts of possession of property obtained by crime, unauthorized use of a computer with intent to commit an offence.
She was handed a 48-month prison sentence and $100,000 restitution to pay to the OMHA.
The Financial Crimes Unit began its investigation back in November 2018 after getting a tip of missing funds in the association. Investigators said Guertin stole about $2.4 million during her time as the OMHA’s director of finance.
Guertin was charged in June 2019.
