Katelyn McClure, the New Jersey woman who raised more than $400,000 in online donations after falsely telling people she was helping a homeless veteran, has been sentenced to three years on state theft charges.
McClure, who didn’t appear in court Friday because she is serving a federal prison sentence in Connecticut, now faces a state prison term that will run concurrently, CBS News reports. The 32-year-old, who worked with the transportation department, is also barred from working again as a New Jersey public employee.
