A
senior administration officer from the Maleny State school has been
charged with fraud. Most of the fraud related to 10 transactions made
by Cavill.
Well respected, Anthony (Tony) Cavill, senior administration officer has been charged with fraud after a police investigation into certain administrative procedures at the Maleny State School. An audit found that approximately $20,000 went missing from school accounts between August 2007 and February 2009.
Mr. Cavill has been an employee at the school since the early 1990’s.
Mr Cavill was sentenced to two years in jail, wholly suspended, on each of four charges of fraud with which he was charged.
In sentencing Mr. Cavill in the Maroochydore District Court on March 4th Judge Robinson said that Mr Cavell had made a full admission to police, entered an early guilty plea and was genuinely remorseful. Judge Robinson continued that he was satisfied Mr Cavell would not offend again.
Mr Cavill was ordered to pay full restitution within a week or he will be jailed for six months.
Judge Robinson said, “It is unlikely that Mr Cavell would be able to find work in his field again, and he had brought shame upon his family.”
