Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah has announced that a Mohegan Lake woman was sentenced to a term of two to six years in prison for stealing more than $340,000 from a North Castle-based paint supplier where she was employed as the controller.
ToniAnn Rosado had entered guilty pleas back in April and her sentencing just took place. The 54-year-old woman was sentenced by Westchester County Court Judge Maurice D. Williams. Rosado will serve her time in state prison. The felony convictions brought sentences of two to six years for Grand Larceny in the Second Degree and one and one-third to four years for Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree. The sentences will run concurrently.
The defendant is also ordered to pay $170,000 in restitution to her former employer, the North Castle-based CR Wallauer & Company, Inc., where she was employed from 2017 to 2019 to oversee their accounting and finances. In her role as controller, the defendant stole $341,707.54 of company funds between July 7, 2017 and Aug, 9, 2019, and falsified business records to conceal the stolen funds between Jan. 2 and March 29, 2019. After CR Wallauer owners discovered the fraud, the defendant was terminated in August 2019. Following an investigation by the DA’s Office Economic Crimes Bureau, the defendant was arrested in June 2022 in Orlando, Florida.
Rocah said, “This defendant exploited her role overseeing finances for a business that entrusted her with this important responsibility. This case outcome underscores our commitment to prosecuting financial crimes across the county, as well as our continued work to secure restitution on behalf of individuals and businesses.”
Rocah thanked the Ossining, North Castle and Westchester County police departments for their assistance in the case.
