Overview

• U.S. District Judge Vincent Briccetti imposed a prison term of one year and one day in the case.
• The sentence includes $84,000 in restitution, $85,000 in forfeiture, and three years of supervised release.
• Sharon Toney-Finch pleaded guilty in March to wire fraud and stolen valor, admitting she raised about $85,000 through the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation.
• Prosecutors said she diverted donations to personal expenses, including a luxury vehicle, restaurant and bar tabs, and gym fees.
• Army records show no Purple Heart despite her claims used in donor pitches and applications, and her 2023 migrant–hotel story was later debunked by local reporting.
