WVILLE CAREGIVER SENT S.S.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE ART DANNER HAS INDICATED THAT HE EXPECTS TO SENTENCE A WATSONVILLE CAREGIVER (ACCUSED OF BILKING AN ELDERLY CLIENT OF NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS) TO COMMUNITY SERVICE, PROBATION, AND RESTITUTION?..NOT TIME BEHIND BARS. HE SAID, GIVEN CHERYL RAVAGO?S BACKGROUND IN CARE-GIVING, HE BELIEVES THAT REQUIRING COMMUNITY SERVICE FROM HER WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE. DANNER ASKED THE PROBATION DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO VENUES FOR THAT COMMUNITY SERVICE, AND TO REPORT BACK TO THE COURT OCTOBER 19TH. DANNER HAS RETAINED THE RIGHT TO SEND RAVAGO TO JAIL, AT A LATER TIME, IF SHE DOESN?T COMPLY WITH THE CONDITIONS OF HER PROBATION.
