PROVIDENCE – A federal judge has shaved nine months off the sentence of Sarah Jane Cavanaugh, the former North Kingstown VFW commander who defrauded veterans’ groups and others by posing as a seriously ill Purple Heart recipient.

U.S. District Court Chief Judge John J. McConnell Jr. on Friday issued an order accepting a recommendation by federal prosecutors that Cavanaugh’s sentence for wire fraud be reduced by nine months due to changes in federal sentencing guidelines for first-time offenders like Cavanaugh.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lee H. Vilker called for time to be shaved off one count of wire fraud, but Cavanaugh, 32, will continue to also serve a mandatory 24 months for aggravated identity theft for using the medical files of real veterans she met as a social worker at the Providence Veterans Affairs Medical Center to create her own phony identity as a decorated and disabled veteran.

  1. I want her scrubbing headstones in the nearest veteran’s cemetery. 10 hours per day, 30 minutes for lunch, Sundays off IF her work is up to snuff.

  2. My girlfriend works with disabled vets, particularly those badly effected by PTSD. She is like the nicest person ever. When she heard about this bitch she actually thought about going up there and beating her ass. Which is something I’ve never heard her say in the nearly 40 years I’ve known her.

    1. Well, she’s in an institution, and moved from Stolen Valor and thievery to a life of destitution, so I don’t foresee much restitution.

      1. She’s working it off in the prison laundry.”

        Is that a euphemism for correctional facility lesbian sex, because if it is, it’s a good one.

    2. RGR 4-78,
      Even when she’s out, it will be bleeding a stone.

      A local old veteran in his 70s (Vietnam era liar and embellisher),
      was kept away from our Homeless Veterans fundraising buckets in November, as we quickly learned, after reports of telling Phony Rambo tales as BOTH Army and Marines,
      that he was recently released after serving over 10 years in prison, and has a court debt and restitution of over $300,000.

      No one is expecting him to pay anything back,
      yet he can live in his own place,
      and hang Marines and skeleton warrior banners from his porch.
      But don’t let him near a wad of cash.

      Ugh.

      1. Daisy Cutter,
        It’s St. Louis.
        So, for all we know, it could take 2 weeks to fix that water main.

        1. Yeah, at the end of the day they will figure “Hey, that was kind of nice” so you’re probably right.

  3. Will she be granted a pass to attend in person or will she have to do her All Points Logistics employee orientation remotely?

    1. Someone needs to let The False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) and Lori Benton that inquiring minds want to know….
