TORRANCE, Calif. -- The retired principal of a Catholic elementary school in Torrance who embezzled more than $835,000 in school funds to support a gambling habit was sentenced to one year in prison on Monday.

Prosecutors had recommended a 24-month prison sentence, three years of supervised release, and restitution. Kreuper acknowledged that for a period of 10 years ending in September 2018, she embezzled $835,339 from St. James Catholic School. As principal -- a position she had for nearly 30 years before she retired -- Kreuper was responsible for the money the school received to pay for tuition and fees, as well as for charitable donations, according to documents filed in Los Angeles federal court.

Kreuper controlled accounts at a credit union, including a savings account for the school and one established to pay the living expenses of nuns -- who had taken a vow of poverty -- employed by the school, prosecutors said.

SHAME ON YOU..

One year for over 3/4 of a million stolen? She must be a good Christian.

Her lawyer has connections

What did she do with da MONEY ? Nun-ya business !

Say what ?

Where can I get a deal like that? I would do 1 year in prison in exchange for $853,000.

… 1… year…. 1 … year?

Seems fair. I’m sure she will pay all of it back. Who would do a year in white collar jail for almost a million tax free?

That is the sentence, I bet she won't do more than six months. How is this justice?

Meanwhile a Black man in Alabama served 36 years in prison for stealing $50 from a bakery in 1983.

Imagine in the confessional…”Bless me father for I have sinned. My last confession was. Well, last week. I confessed I stole $825,000.”

Only one year for that much?

Just like JESUS told people when he was in their lives, Hypocrites Hypocrite nun!.👎👎🧐🤔😎

One year?!! Why? Because she’s a Nun who has shown she is not really deserving of being a Nun. Sad.

Oh, God

Meanwhile...

The black mother who tried to get her child into a better school got 5 years 😡

1 year!!!!

She’ll get time served and restitution 😂

This is hypocritical of the LA justice system!

1?

1 year?

1 year? I'd give up a year if I made out with almost $900K.

Crime does pay. She’ll be sent off to Cupcake Camp. More Sprinkles please…🙏🏽

Did they smack her hands with a ruler

Trash

Bih, are u serious ? One year ?

Ridiculous.

🤦🏽‍♂️

Wow! Can’t helpbut wonder how many years a black/hispanic/asian women would have been given. Crazy!!!!

Naughty White nun today

readingrenee For a period of ten years. But 'it was mental illness'. Nope it's a white nun who lied, cheated, and stole. 1 year is an insult.

A nun....embezzels $835K and only gets a YEAR? Good thing I'm not the one with the ability to smite. I may have to borrow the keys.

Religious white woman privilege.

One whole year!

Sounds like a front runner for the GOP

That’s it? Muthafucka is doing 20 to life for embezzlement and she only gets a year?..😤

Damn a felony crime, and she only gets 1 year, smh..

Reminds me of the issues mentioned in this other thread.

😂🥳

Wow!

Stealing while white

She nun f*%$d up

WTF?!!! This is why we can’t have nice stuff people. No accountability for the crime 🤔🤨😷🇺🇸

If she was black or Hispanic they'd add a zero after that one.

I don’t take mental illness lightly but that’s the new get out of jail free card. She suffered from f***** greed

“Twisted 🎰 Sister”😇💰😈🤑🙏

only 1 year? no fines. no giving back in some way

Is she returning all the money? 🤔🤔

I hope she gave 10% to the church.

But does she get to keep the funds?

Amen😵‍💫

Well that’ll teach her!

1 year I thought she'd get nun

Gambling ain't no mental illness. It's an addiction. Shame on her and her ONE YEAR SENTENCE

We do not need to send an 80-year old to prison for something like this.

Bet!
