AG Nessle: Birmingham Therapist Sentenced For Stealing $1M From Patients

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. (PATCH) —A Birmingham therapist has been sentenced after authorities say she stole's more than $1 million form her patients.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced the sentencing of Beth Lisa Jaslove, 69, following a scheme called Community Money Program.

Jaslove pleaded guilty to one count of larceny by false pretenses of more than $100,000.

She was sentenced to five years supervised probation and ordered to pay $100,000 in restitution. She appeared Jan. 9 before Judge Phyllis McMillan in Oakland County Circuit Court.

As part of her sentencing, Jaslove is not to be employed as a therapist, counselor or spiritual guide for individuals or groups during the term of her probation.
