Demniak, 60, of Leckrone, PA, has been sentenced in federal court to 28 months’ incarceration followed by three years of supervised release on charges of wire fraud and filing false income tax returns.

She was also ordered to make restitution to the IRS totaling $270,426. The government represented to the court that between 2013 and 2018. Demniak, in her position as office manager for Grandview Medical Management located in Uniontown, PA, embezzled approximately $926,940 from her employer, which she used for personal expenses and to satisfy a gambling addiction. The court was also advised that for tax years 2013 through 2018, Demniak materially underreported the embezzled income from Grandview Medical Center on her federal income tax returns.
