Bobbitt, who concocted a feel-good story with a woman and her boyfriend to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars as part of a GoFundMe campaign, is set to be sentenced on Friday.to the state charges of conspiracy to commit theft by deception. Bobbitt faces an additional, separate federal sentencing at a later date for one count of money laundering conspiracy, which he also pleaded guilty to in March.
Bobbitt, 36, allegedly conspired with Katelyn McClure and her then-boyfriend Mark D'Amico in 2017 to create a page on GoFundMe's website detailing how Bobbitt acted as a "Good Samaritan" and rescued McClure by giving her his last $20 when she ran out of gas along the highway.would be used to get Bobbitt off the street and provide him with living expenses. The New Jersey couple set a goal of $10,000.
But in truth, McClure's entire story was bogus and Bobbitt never spent "his last $20" helping McClure, prosecutors said.
This is crap. How much did this cost taxpayers to prosecute this scum. So sick and tired of these light sentences. Why bother.
He was given 5 yrs. of probation and his co-conspirators are still in litigation. That’s it for bilking thousands of dollars from honest citizens. Disgusting.
Don't Forget....
