A woman accused of defrauding a resident of an aged-care home in Yass has been handed a jail sentence, but is allowed to serve it in the community.
Joyce Paran Mosca was convicted on two counts of dishonestly obtain property by deception and a single count of goods in personal custody suspected being stolen in the Yass Local Court on Friday (14 April).
Magistrate Geraldine Beattie sentenced the 51-year-old Yass resident to 18 months’ imprisonment, to be served by an intensive corrections order in the community. She was also fined $450.
NSW Police originally said officers began an investigation in November 2022 after hearing allegations that an 87-year-old woman with dementia had been defrauded.
Mosca was then arrested in December. Police alleged she was caring for the elderly woman in an aged-care facility in Yass and used the resident’s debit card in NSW and the ACT over 12 months, with charges totalling $23,000.
