A former nursery school supervisor was today sentenced to eight months' imprisonment at Eastern Magistracy for soliciting a $60,000 bribe from a subordinate and deceiving tutorial fees totalling over $120,000 from parents.
Karen Tsoi, 35, the former supervisor of Ng Sheung Lan Memorial Nursery School, earlier pleaded guilty to one count of agent soliciting an advantage and one of conspiracy to defraud.
In sentencing, Magistrate Winston Leung reprimanded the defendant for breaching the trust her employer and students' parents placed in her.
The court heard that on July 17, 2006, the defendant informed a nursery school child care worker that she would be transferred to another nursery school under Tung Wah Group.
After the child care worker had expressed her desire to stay in the nursery school, the defendant solicited a loan of $60,000 as a reward for helping her remain at the nursery school.
The court also heard that the defendant had conspired with another person to defraud parents of 42 students at nursery school between January and September 2006. The fees deceived amounted to $122,100.
