Mum of tragic Leeds United fan Toby Nye stole £100,000 from his cancer fund The mum of tragic Leeds youngster Toby Nye has admitted defrauding £100,000 from the fund set up to pay for her gravely ill son's rare cancer treatment. Stacey Worsley pleaded guilty to fraud when she appeared at Leeds Crown Court today The Yorkshire Evening Post understands Worsley, who declined to comment when approached after the hearing, abused her position as a trustee of the fund to spend the money on gambling. West Yorkshire Police has confirmed that all of the money has been recovered and that Worsley's offending did NOT affect Toby's treatment. Worsley, 32, of Osmondthorpe, Leeds, pleaded guilty after the fraud charge was put to her by the court clerk. The full details of the charge were: "Stacey Worsley, between January 2, 2017, and March 30, 2018, you committed fraud in that, dishonestly and intending thereby to make a gain for yourself or another, or to cause loss to another, or to expose another to the risk of loss, abused her position as a trustee in respect of monies donated for the treatment of Toby Nye, in which she was expected to safeguard or not take against the financial interests of the said Toby Nye, by using approximately £140,700 of such monies for her own purposes, in breach of Section 4 of the Fraud Act 2006."
My opinion is that although the money was meant for Toby, he was already being treated with the best care possible. If this was the case, why shouldn't the family use the money? If the mother stole the money, meaning Toby could not get the best treatment, yes, she would deserve to go to prison, but he was getting the best treatment possible. The parents were going through absolute hell. Just read that a lot of the money was squandered on online gambling.
If there was too much money then it should have gone to others with the same condition.She should go prison
