The daughter of former Brick Mayor Joseph Scarpelli will suffer the same fate as her father \u2013 a prison term.<\/p>\n

Kim E. Bogan, 52, of Brick, was sentenced to spend five years in prison in accordance with a plea deal reached when she pleaded guilty to second-degree theft by deception on Oct. 24, 2017. She must also pay $941,354.77 in restitution to Brick Township under the terms of the plea agreement and sentence imposed by Superior Court Judge Linda G. Baxter in Ocean County.<\/p>\n

During her plea hearing, Bogan, who worked in the township\u2019s Building Department, admitted that between January 2011 and April 2017 she assisted her brother, Dr. Glenn Scarpelli \u2013 a chiropractor who committed suicide last summer<\/a> by jumping out of a New York City building \u2013 in submitting false claims to her employee health insurance program, which is self-funded by the township. The claims were for treatments purportedly rendered to individuals covered under Bogan\u2019s policy, however they were found to be bogus.<\/p>\n

Because Brick is self-insured, the money came directly from taxpayers, instead of an insurance company. That led to the judge\u2019s order to repay the township for the fraudulent expenditures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis defendant is going to prison for willingly participating in a health care claims scheme that cost Brick Township taxpayers \u2013 her own friends and neighbors \u2013 nearly a million dollars,\u201d said Attorney General Christopher Porrino, in a statement. \u201cHer sentence sends a message that stealing money from health care plans is a serious crime with serious consequences, no matter what role you play in the illegal plot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porrino thanked Township Administrator Joanne Bergin and the Horizon Blue Cross-Blue Shield investigations unit for their assistance in the case.<\/p>\n

Joseph C. Scarpelli, Bogan\u2019s father, served an 18-month jail term after admitting to extortion and bribery charges stemming from a relationship with an unnamed real estate developer in 2007.<\/p>\n
