Judge Dugald Mathesen pondered why the victims sent the money in the first place.
"I may be old fashioned but I question the wisdom of sending cash in the mail to some faceless person. But I suppose that's how things work today and it requires a level of trust."
He ordered Pearson to pay reparations to the three victims and let her know the conviction would stay on her record.
"You will forever been known as a thief in the eyes of the court," he said.
He informed that her employers would be able to see the conviction in a background check should she apply for a job.
"This conviction will stay with you for the rest of your life."
As she attempted to leave the court through the public gallery, Judge Mathesen directed her to sign out via the direction of the cells.
"No not that way. Your embarrassment continues and shall continue as you leave this court," he said.
