"By her own account, the complainant and her family treated her well," he said.
Martinez claimed in early 2019 that her family in the Philippines required money for medical expenses. She borrowed about $10,000 in total from her employer, but deemed it insufficient and decided to steal from her employer's daughters whom she knew kept substantial amounts of cash in their piggy banks.
The prosecutor said" was unable to recall the total number of occasions she stole from the piggy bank, save that she stole sums of $50 to $200 on each occasion".
