A WOMAN was sentenced to ten months in prison on Friday after she admitted to stealing $22,000 from a man last year.
Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville sentenced Nexis Seymour, 29, on two counts of stealing and two counts of money laundering.
Nexis reportedly stole $22,000 from Stephen Wrinkle between May 23 and 26, 2023.
Nexis reversed her earlier position and pleaded guilty to the charges.
The same defendant was sentenced to 18 months in prison previously after she was unable to pay $17,000 in fines for a plot that attempted to defraud CIBC FirstCaribbean of $4,980 last August.
In the latest case, Magistrate Serville said the defendant appeared remorseful and had issued an apology to the complainant. He further said the defendant had assisted police with their investigation and deemed her capable of rehabilitation.
The defendant was sentenced to ten months in prison which will retroactively take effect from her remand in May.
Nexis told the magistrate that she felt saddened by her 18-month jail term she received from Magistrate Kendra Kelly for fraud charges. She indicated she would start her life over when she gets out.
Inspector Cordero Farrington served as the prosecutor.
