A 44-year-old Batavia woman convicted of
stealing more than $20,000 from her mother in 2009 and 2010 recently was
sentenced to probation and community service, according to Kane County
court records.
Monica Ogen, of the 0-99 block of
North Mallory Drive, was convicted over the summer of financial
exploitation of an elderly person, a felony.
Judge Susan Clancy Boles sentenced Ogen
this month to four years of conditional discharge, which is a form of
probation, and 160 hours of community service, records show. Ogen also
must pay $8,070 to the estate of her mother, who died in 2012.
According to prosecutors, Ogen
used the money to buy clothes and go to restaurants and bars. She once
dropped nearly $2,300 on flooring at Home Depot as well, authorities
said.
If Ogen violates her probation, she could be resentenced to up to seven years in prison.

I love it that she is also doing community service and restitution. It should be the same in every case of theft.
