Nuzhat Mamoon, a first offender, was convicted of defrauding eight vulnerable individuals of $98,400 through a breach of trust, leveraging her perceived status as a wealthy, religious businessperson and her charitable organization.
The court considered aggravating factors including the duration, planning, number of victims, significant impact on victims, and abuse of community regard.
Mitigating factors were limited to no prior record.
The court rejected a conditional sentence, imposing 18 months' incarceration, a three-year probation order with specific prohibitions, and a restitution order for the full amount.
