Lanette Marie Sansoni, 39, of Warminster, Pennsylvania, was charged with embezzling nearly $500,000 from JRS Settlement Services, a real estate title company based in Huntingdon Valley for whom she had been employed as a clerk for six years. According to authorities, Sansoni embezzled $476,685.84 from 2004 until March 2009, when she was fired and the scheme was revealed. Sansoni allegedly used the stolen funds to pay credit card bills for herself, her mother and daughter and other personal expenses.

she paid more than half back!
she is still a thief!!! shouldn't have taken another persons money in the first place. especially from the owners of jrs, they are one of the nicest people ever...
How can Kenneth Slomine be the nicest person ever when he sexually harrassed his employees and stole over a million dollars himself.
I worked for the family business and never witnessed, experienced or ever heard about any sexual harassment by Kenneth Slomine. The Slomines are not on trial here so please don't make accusations that hold no water. The Slomines have good, trusting people and that was their only downfall - they put too much trust into people. Lanette stole money that did not belong to her. Period.
