(Radio Iowa) – A Bettendorf woman who claimed to have cancer has been ordered to repay people who donated to cover cancer treatments she never received. Twenty-year-old Madison Russo has pleaded guilty to one count of first degree theft in June and could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. K-W-Q-C reports court documents show she must pay restitution to victims of her cancer scam before or as she’s sentenced on October 20th. Russo has been ordered to pay over 39-thousand dollars in total, but most of that must be paid to GoFundMe, where more than 400 donors gave money to support her.

Donations came from individuals, schools, businesses and non-profit groups. According to court documents, Russo used photos cancer patients had posted online and claimed she had leukemia, pancreatic cancer and a tumor the size of a football wrapped around her spine.
