MANHATTAN SUPREME COURT — A woman who admitted to swindling two incapacitated older men out of $200,000 was sentenced to a maximum of seven years in prison on Tuesday.
Cher Thompson, 30, married 64-year-old brain injury victim Howard Zeimer and proceeded to steal from his life insurance funds, she admitted when she pleaded guilty on Nov. 19.
She also scammed 89-year-old dementia-suffering John Grant by posing as his niece and withdrawing $50,000 from his bank account in 2009.
Thompson pleaded guilty to grand larceny, fraud and identify theft charges last month.
At her sentencing Tuesday, she apologize to both men and her family.
"I'm sorry that I was such an inconvenience to them," Thompson said.
