A former revenue analyst for Virgin America at San Francisco International Airport who pleaded no contest to embezzlement in December for stealing about $200,000 from the company was sentenced to one year in county jail and five years probation Friday, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
DeSonia Crossley, 43, of Pacifica, worked for the airline starting in December 2010. In August 2013, Crossley went on vacation and another analyst for Virgin America noticed numerous refunds were made to the same credit card, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
She was also ordered to pay $195,000 in restitution to the airline.
A company audit determined she had taken $224,750 through 108 fraudulent refunds between July 2012 and September 2013, prosecutors said.
