A contestant of The Bachelor New Zealand was sentenced after she admitted stealing more than $12,000 from her employer and from a social organisation she was part of.
Louise Akata Kuresa, 31, appeared today at Invercargill District Court after pleading guilty to five counts of theft by a person in a special relationship and two charges of altering a document with intent to defraud.
Invercargill woman Akata Louise Kuresa appears in the Invercargill District Court for sentence on fraud charges. Transport World is owned by HWR Group, and company director Jocelyn O Donnell said in a victim impact statement read to the court on Wednesday that at the time the offending was discovered, Kuresa cited her involvement on The Bachelor NZ as the reason her credit card statements were incorrect. The self-indulgent fraud was uncovered when Kuresa was away filming the show, O Donnell said. The company made redundancies after the Covid-19 lockdown, but Kuresa s job was saved, O Donnell said. Underneath your charming facade there is different side to you, Lou, she said.
