A repeat offender was yesterday sentenced to a total of seven and a half years in jail after he admitted to obtaining money from five different women by pretending he would offer them jobs.
Georgetown Magistrate Judy Latchman handed down the sentences to Troy Webster, 37, after he pleaded guilty to five counts of obtaining money by false pretence. Magistrate Latchman sentences Webster to 18 months in jail for each of the five counts, with the sentenced to run consecutively.
Webster was charged with collecting $6,000 from Nakesha Haynes on August 18, at Georgetown, by falsely pretending that he could offer her a job. He was also charged with collecting $7,000 each from Tamara Somerset, Aneesa Jones, Orissa Williams, and Kenisha Boyce, on the same pretext, between August 17 and August 21.
