Carey Earl has been found guilty of defrauding Access Human Resources, an agency that helps adults with disabilities
A Kelowna senior will have to wait to hear how long she will spend in prison after being found guilty of stealing approximately $1.3 million from her employers.
Earl embezzled approximately $1.3 million between 2010 and 2018, while she was acting as the bookkeeper at Access Human Resources.The Kelowna-based community support agency initially filed a Civil Suit against Earl in the Supreme Court of B.C., in November 2018, after discovering inconsistencies in the bookkeeping. In February 2019, Earl filed a response to the Civil Claim and denied all allegations of theft, misappropriation and embezzlement.
Andrsuko, however, took the stand as a witness during the trial and remained steadfast in saying that he had never misappropriated any money. He also stated that he was unaware of the money Earl had been stealing until it was revealed to him in 2018. On April 19, Earl sat in the prisoner’s box while a gallery full of observers filled a Kelowna courtroom to hear final sentencing submissions given to Justice Weatherill by Crown and defence.
Additionally, McLean stated that there is no evidence to support the theory that any of the $1.35 million that Earl stole was authorized by Andrsuko.
