Wilsonville Woman Sentenced for Stealing From Fisheries Commission
(Wilsonville, OR) -- A former finance executive has been sentenced for stealing more than 200-thousand dollars from the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. Federal prosecutors say 68-year-old Pamela Kahut took the money from the agency's health care fund between 2014 and 2020, using it to cover personal expenses including her spouse's long-term care and credit card bills. Kahut pleaded guilty in June to theft in connection with health care. She was ordered to repay the full amount, pay a 10-thousand-dollar fine, and serve her sentence as imposed by the court.
