Wright was sentenced this afternoon by Judge Paul Kellar, who presided over her trial. She sought a prison term of at least 18 months for Wright, saying the offending was "significant". "Ms Wright does not accept your verdict but she accepts she has to be sentenced on your findings," Bulger told the court. He said an aggravating factor was the number of victims involved and how much they paid Wright and Bennett. Judge Kellar agreed Bennett was the mastermind and sentenced Wright to a total of one year and five months with six months of post-release conditions and further special conditions.
