(Fort Dodge, IA) — A Fort Dodge woman who admitted she used a power of attorney to defraud an elderly disabled veteran out of more than 120-thousand dollars was sentenced to more than two years in federal prison today. Forty-year-old Janice Kay Jurgensen had pled guilty to one count of wire fraud. Prosecutors say Jurgensen used the man’s debit card to buy food, gas, and even pay the fees for a dating website. Jurgensen drained the victim’s life savings and he was unable to pay for his nursing home care. She was ordered to make 122-thousand dollars in restitution to her victim’s conservator.
