Following up: Meghan Simon
Readers may recall WC’s three-part post on adventures with the Alaska criminal justice system and Meghan Simon. If not, here are links to Part I, Part II and Part III.
There has been a development. No, silly readers, she has not made her court-ordered restitution. Not a dime. WC will just set out the certified letter he received earlier this week.

RE: DUTY TO WARN – MEGHAN SIMON
To Whom It May Concern:
Please be advised that Meghan Simon was released from incarceration on July 17, 2012 and is residing in the Fairbanks area. The defendant was convicted of Forgery in the Second Degree on March 25, 2011 and received a two year Suspended Imposition of Sentence. Due to multiple probation violations, the defendant’s Suspended Imposition of Sentence was revoked and she was sentenced to 24 months with 23 months suspended. Ms. Simon will now be on probation supervision until July 16, 2014. I have enclosed a copy of her Judgment which lists the conditions of probation she is required to follow.
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact her supervising probation office, [name deleted].
Sincerely,
It might be just a bit too late to warn WC about Meghan Simon, but the thought – even a week after she was released – was nice.
So WC got one of his wishes, anyway: Simon went to jail for a bit. WC isn’t holding his breath for restitution…
One unexpected benefit. If you Google the woman’s name? You get WC’s essay. That should make it slightly harder to pull the stunt on someone else.
I have been thinking about your post since yesterday. I read the posts before and then re read them yesterday
I am sad that our parent’s generation are treated like this. This generation that fought and sacrificed for our freedom today can’t be provided the minimum services that they need to live in dignity.
That our generation is frantically trying to find care for our parents, Safe, affordable care.
My dad died when I was young and my mom died 6 years ago. She was able to live in her house till she became ill, and then in and out of hospitals. The amount of time she spent at home was short and covered 2 mornings a week. My sister and I provided the rest, but sometime having to leave her alone at night.
We are some of the lucky one. the horror stories I hear about care issues, trying to find nursing homes and then the family fights after a death.
But to compound all of that with robbery and an unresponsive court system is beyond what a family should go through.
I hope you and your brother have found a measure of peace with your mom’s death and the theft.
I hope your family receives some of the money back.
And I am so glad that you found a way to hopefully protect others from this woman.
