Mohegan Woman Sentenced to Prison for Stealing from Employers

She was sentenced on Sept. 27 before Westchester County Court Judge Maurice D. Williams to two to six years in state prison for second-degree grand larceny and one and one-third to four years for first-degree falsifying business records, both felonies. The sentences will run concurrently.

“This defendant exploited her role overseeing finances for a business that entrusted her with this important responsibility," Westchester County District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah said in a press release. "This case outcome underscores our commitment to prosecuting financial crimes across the county, as well as our continued work to secure restitution on behalf of individuals and businesses.”

Rosado is also ordered to pay $170,000 in restitution to the North Castle-based CR Wallauer & Company, Inc., where she was employed from 2017 to 2019 to oversee their accounting and finances.

In her role as controller, Rosado stole $341,707.54 of company funds between July 7, 2017 and Aug. 9, 2019. She falsified business records to conceal the stolen funds between Jan. 2 and March 29, 2019.

After CR Wallauer owners discovered the fraud, Rosado was fired in August 2019.

Following an investigation by the DA’s Office Economic Crimes Bureau, the defendant was arrested in June 2022 in Orlando, Florida by the U.S. Marshalls with assistance from the Fugitive Unit of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and the Westchester County Department of Public Safety’s Warrant Fugitive Unit.

The case was prosecuted by Senior Tax Fraud Counsel Nicole Gamble of the Economic Crimes Bureau with assistance from Forensic Accountant Michael Frenza, both of the Trials and Investigations Division, and Criminal Investigators Steven Sassone and Joseph McGann.

The District Attorney thanked the Ossining, North Castle and the Westchester County police departments for their assistance in the case.
