Scottsville woman sentenced for defrauding former employer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A Scottsville woman has been sentenced in a case involving a scheme to defraud her former employer.

According to the United States Attorney’s Office, Western District of Kentucky, court records state Reda W. Tabor, 67, was sentenced Thursday to two years in federal prison followed by two years of supervised release for one count of wire fraud.

She has also been ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $873,107 and a fine in the amount of $10,000, court records say.

Her charges stem from a scheme that involved Tabor using her position as vice president in charge of finance/accounting and human resource at Beneke Wire Company in Louisville to access the company’s bank accounts and make unauthorized transfers of company funds to her personal bank account.

Court records state this took place from 2014 to 2020.

The case was investigated by the FBI
