Karly Simon-Sapp, 50, of Plumsted Township, was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Kenneth T. Palmer to five years New Jersey State Prison and ordered to pay $357,520 in restitution, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said. She previously had pleaded guilty to theft.
Between January 2016 and January 2022, Simon-Sapp, in her capacity as a bookkeeper for the New Jersey Apartment Association, forged the signatures of both the Association’s president and vice president on more than 100 checks written out to either herself or to cash, Billhimer said. She then deposited the forged checks, totaling $357,250, into her personal bank account and utilized the funds for her benefit, Billhimer said.
On July 10, 2023, Simon-Sapp was arrested at her home by detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Economic Crime Squad and Officers from the Plumsted Township Police Department. She was processed and served with the charges via summons pending an appearance in Ocean County Superior Court.
