A man pleaded guilty on Monday to theft by deception for perpetrating what began as a story of redemption that was revealed to be a ruse. Jasper Gill appeared in Superior Court, admitting to his role in duping thousands of people out of $400,000 through a fictionalized GoFundMe page purporting to benefit a homeless veteran said to have bought his gas. Jasper will serve a four-year term in state prison under the plea, according to the County Prosecutor's Office. Sentencing is set for June 3. In March, Jasper pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Federal sentencing is scheduled for June 19.
