A Greeley woman will spend the next four years serving a community corrections sentence for extorting money from and abusing a multiple sclerosis patient in her care.
Angel Rojas, 19, will have to report to the community corrections center next week to begin her sentence. The week will give her time to make arrangements for care and feeding of her 6-month-old baby. Weld District Court Judge Thomas Quammen had originally ordered she be taken to jail pending bed space opening in community corrections, but he changed it once he learned Rojas had only been breast-feeding her son.
Rojas, Kathy Jo Villanueva, 37, and Villanueva’s 15-year-old daughter were the hired caretakers for Laura Holum, 54, who told police last September that the women abused her and fed her raw food to force her to write checks for extra money. Holum had been paying the women $300 a month for their services.
