PHILADELPHIA ? A judge says a suburban Philadelphia mother who staged a hoax carjacking before flying to Disney World should expect a "significant" prison term for swindling huge sums of money from her ex-boss and a relative.
Federal prosecutors say Bonnie Sweeten, of Feasterville, stole $1 million and should spend 10 years in prison.
The defense is challenging the fraud total at Thursday's sentencing hearing. The sentencing will take more than a day.
The white mother of three triggered a national search when she called 911 in 2009 and said she and her 9-year-old had been kidnapped by two black men and stuffed in a trunk. She then took her daughter to Orlando, Fla.
Sweeten served a year in state prison for the hoax. She says her life unraveled amid marital and financial stresses.
