A 56-year-old man was sentenced to three to six years in a state correctional institution on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, for taking more than $650,000 from an elderly Solebury Township resident over a 4-year period.
Robert R. Wootters, of Warrington, was also sentenced to a consecutive sentence of nine years of probation and ordered to pay half a million dollars in restitution to the victim.
Appearing before Common Pleas Judge Charissa J. Liller on Wednesday, Wootters entered a no contest plea to charges of theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception, receiving stolen property, financial exploitation of an older adult, access device fraud and deceptive business practices.
In a second case, Wootters pleaded guilty to filing false records on a social security disability claim and was given six years of probation for that case and ordered to repay $45,759.50 in restitution to the Social Security Administration.
