A restitution hearing is set to take place this afternoon in Atlantic in the case of an Atlantic woman who falsely claimed her 5-year old daughter had cancer and then raised money for her treatment. The hearing in the case of Leatha Kaye Slauson is set to begin 1:30-p.m. at the Cass County Courthouse.
Authorities believe nearly $30,000 was raised through various fundraising efforts, only $16,000 of which remains in a bank account. In January, the 30-year-old Slauson was sentenced to 5 years probation and was ordered to continue mental health treatment and not contact her five children unless requested by her therapist. In November, she plead guilty to two counts of child endangerment, one of administering harmful substances, one of theft and one of unlawful possession of a prescription drug.
At today’s restitution hearing, anyone who donated money to Slauson, and who wants to make a claim for the return of their donation, should present their claim and proof of donation. The court order says funds will not be returned without sufficient proof. Also, if provable claims exceed the available funds, the claims will be paid on a pro-rata basis.
Any remainder owed will be subject to an Order for Restitution. And, in order to protect the nature and deductibility of donations, any unclaimed money will be given to cancer research tax-exempt charity.
