“#Ex-Make-A-Wish Iowa CEO admits to stealing funds<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

The former CEO of Make-A-Wish Iowa has pleaded guilty to\u00a0charges of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars meant to help sick and dying children.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Woodley admitted in a written guilty plea last week to the unauthorized use of a credit card for the months-long theft, which began in the summer of 2019.<\/p>\n

Woodley, 40, who became president of the Iowa chapter in August 2019, also admitted to giving herself an unapp<\/a>roved bonus and salary increases, and to making false entries in foundation records to cover those expenses.<\/p>\n

She pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree theft and one count of fraudulent practices, all felonies. Under a plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend a sentence of five years of probation, along with fines and restitution, which have yet to be set.<\/p>\n

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 20.<\/p>\n

Woodley\u2019s attorney, Nicholas Sarcone, said he would ask for a deferred judgment at sentencing. If granted, that means the case would be expunged from her record, so long as Woodley completes her probation and the other parts of her sentence.<\/p>\n

Two months after Woodley became CEO of the organization, she granted herself a $10,000 bonus that wasn\u2019t approved by the group\u2019s board, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

She also used the organization\u2019s credit card to spend $23,000 on herself during a 10-month span, without reimbursing the group, the charging document said.<\/p>\n

Woodley turned herself in to police in January and was released after posting $30,000 bond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
