At the time of her sentencing hearing April 10, neither her kids nor husband and new company where she worked as bookkeeper, knew about her charges
An Edmonton woman has been sentenced April 10 to prison time for defrauding three companies she had worked for as a bookkeeper.
Jennifer May Korobko, 43, was given three years in prison for stealing $337,803 over 19 months from E&S Motorcycles Ltd, Advance Respiratory Care, and CIMA Canada Inc. (CIMA).
She stole the money to support her cocaine habit, court heard.
A pre-sentence report was prepared for her sentencing hearing, Korobko was working for a new company as a bookkeeper and Alberta Court of King’s Bench Justice S. Leonard said that her current employer didn’t know about her criminal charges.
In addition, at the time of her sentencing hearing on April 10 her husband and children still weren’t aware of the charges.
Korobko admitted to the court of “being high more often than sober from 2018 to 2021.” She described this period as a “huge blur.”
After Korobko is released from prison, she has 10 years to pay $242,095 in restitution. If she doesn’t, she will have to serve another 33 months in prison.
