CommentsA woman charged with stealing more than $72,000 from a Pierce County youth soccer club pleaded guilty Friday to 10 counts of first-degree theft.
Superior Court Judge Lisa Worswick sentenced Deborah Lea Angilley, 43, to 90 days in jail. Angilley also is subject to deportation back to her native South Africa, deputy prosecutor Rosie Martinelli said.
Prosecutors charged Angilley with 11 counts of first-degree theft and two counts of second-degree theft in June 2008. They alleged she used her position as treasurer of the Fife-Milton-Edgewood Junior Soccer Club to drain the club’s accounts.
The thefts nearly caused the club to fold, but it managed to stay afloat with the help of donations.
Martinelli said Angilley had a gambling habit that fueled her need for cash. Worswick ordered treatment for addictive gambling as part of Angilley’s sentence.
