SAN FRANCISCO, April 22 (UPI) -- A bookkeeper has been sentenced in a San Francisco court to two years and nine months in prison for stealing nearly $800,000 from novelist Danielle Steel.
Kristy Watts, 48, pleaded guilty last September to fraud and tax evasion, and has already paid nearly $1 million to Steel, who sued her in civil court, the San Francisco Chronicle said.
Watts was sentenced Tuesday to nearly three years in federal prison as part of her plea agreement for which she admitted to manipulating Steel's financial accounts and embezzling $768,000, the newspaper said.
Watts was employed by Steel from 1993 until the author fired her in December 2008.
