This is another criminal case heard
by the Victorian County Court in relation to Commonwealth Child Care
Benefit fraud. This case concerned a Family Day Care (FDC) educator, Morris Deia Winpea who pleaded guilty to one charge of dishonestly causing a loss to a Commonwealth entity, contrary to section 135.1(3) of the Criminal Code (Cth). Between 3 August 2015 and 7 December 2015 the educator dishonestly caused the loss of $48,844.78 to the Commonwealth. The charge related to submitting false time sheets to three different FDC services: Manhale FDC, Discover & Learn FDC and Dorsey FDC.
The court sentenced Morris Daia Winpea to a period of nine months' imprisonment but suspended the imprisonment for a period of two years and released the educator on a recognizance release order in the sum of $2000 to be of good behaviour for a period of two years.
The educator is one of nine educators who have been charged with similar offences associated with FDC services involving the Deng group, see previous blog post for more information on the Deng group prosecutions.
