In Monmouth County (NJ) Prosecutor Luis A. Valentin announced that on September 5, 2008, Jennifer L. Coneys, 35, of Brick, N.J., was sentenced to a three year New Jersey State Prison term for the third degree crime of Theft by Deception. This charge pertains to a theft she committed while employed at Liberty Title Company, of Wall Township, N.J. As part of her plea agreement, Coneys also entered into a civil judgment in favor of Liberty Title in the amount of $68,459.36. Coneys was sentenced by Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Francis P. De Stefano. Coneys pled guilty to the charge before Judge De Stefano on July 1, 2008.

Coneys was employed as an Office Manager and Closing Coordinator by Liberty Title since May 2005. An investigation conducted by the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office in cooperation with the Wall Township Police Department revealed that between February 2006 and December 2007, Coneys stole approximately $68,459.36 from Liberty Title by misdirecting disbursements from closings to pay her personal expenses, including car payments. The fraud was initially revealed during a random audit in December 2007. Liberty Title subsequently notified law enforcement authorities, and the ensuing investigation led to her being charged and arrested on one count of Theft by Deception on May 12, 2008.

Monmouth County Prosecutor Luis A. Valentin stated, “Coneys deliberately stole a substantial sum of money from the title company which employed her. The State Prison sentence which has been imposed will punish her for her criminal conduct and, hopefully, deter others from committing similar offenses.”

The case was prosecuted by Assistant Monmouth County Prosecutor Thomas F. Fichter. Coneys is represented by Richard M. Keil, Esquire, of Oakhurst, N.J.
