Kirsch Faces 5 Years In Prison
Do you remember Jocelyn Kirsch? Well - she’s going to jail for five years.
Jocelyn Kirsch, who is the “Bonnie” of the Center City couple dubbed “Bonnie and Clyde,” will spend most of her twenties in federal prison.
Kirsch, twenty three years old, was sentenced to five years in prison and five years supervised release. She was also ordered to pay $101,033 in restitution.
Kirsch and her boyfriend, Edward Anderton, pleaded guilty to stealing the identities and credit cards of unsuspecting neighbors, co-workers and friends. They used that information to run up bills of more than $100,000, living a lavish lifestyle, traveling the world.
Anderton is scheduled to be sentenced next month.
Kirsch turned herself in during July to begin getting credit for time served. She must serve at least four more years of her five year sentence before being eligible for parole. Kirsch will likely spend her sentence at a federal prison in California, close to her mother’s home.

It’s good that she is actually seeing jail time. A lot of people can go about ruining the lives of others and living a lavish lifestyle through crime and will get paroled in a few months or do no time at all–Just look at celebrities.
