SPRINGFIELD — A Taylorville woman has been ordered to pay $600,000 restitution to the Christian County YMCA.

Lori Zeitler, 65, who previously pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to five counts of wire fraud, was sentenced Thursday. In addition to the restitution she was sentenced to three years of probation.

“The impact of the defendant’s deception is wide reaching, as the money she stole deprived the Christian County YMCA of funds that should have gone towards needed facility improvements and to support programs for members,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sierra Senor-Moore said. “The restitution order is a just result that will help the YMCA to continue their mission in serving the community.”

At the sentencing hearing, the government presented evidence that Zeitler took advantage of her position of trust at the YMCA, where she worked for 32 years in various roles, and stole at least $292,336.29 and was responsible for $600,000 in loss.

Zeitler’s theft was discovered when the YMCA switched to an internet-based accounting software.

U.S. District Judge Sue E. Myerscough found that in addition to the money Zeitler took from the YMCA, she also broke the trust between the organization and the community. Myerscough noted that Zeitler’s crimes against the YMCA were almost unbelievable.

“As a YMCA employee of 32 years, Lori Zeitler developed a long-time pattern of embezzlement, using her position of trust to steal from her employer, and ultimately shortchanging the community the YMCA serves,” said FBI Springfield Special Agent in Charge Christopher Johnson. “We at the FBI and our law enforcement partners will always pursue justice in an effort to preserve the public’s trust in its valued institutions.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Springfield Field Office; the Taylorville Police Department; and the Illinois State Police investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Senor-Moore represented the government in the prosecution.
