HE WAS A PASTOR CONVICTED OF
FLEECING HIS FLOCK, ORDERED TO
PAY VICTIMS OF HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS IN RESTITUTION.
HE'S PAID ONLY A FRACTION OF
THAT AND ONE VICK IT TIM IS
CRL NOW WITH THAT STORY
TONIGHT.
HE WAS CONVICTED OF CONNING
DOZENS OF S
CO INTO GIVING HIM
THOUSANDS FOR A BOGUS INVESTMENT
TO WORK, BUT HE'S PAID JUST
A TINY PERCENTAGE OF THE
RESTITP ALAS
VICTIMS WHO CALL THIS IS A SURE
SIGN WE NEED RESTITUTION REFORM.
Reporter: WHEN CAROL VISITS
HER FATHER'S GRAVE, SHE CANNOT
HELP BL ALDMAN.
LATER IN HIS LIFE, HOGE, A
RETIRED MILL WORKER, TURNED OVER
HIS ENTIRE LIFE SAVINGS TO
ALDMAN.
THINK HE WAS AFRAID OF
DYING AND NOT GOING TO HEAVEN.
I THKE FIGURED MIKE COULD
GET HIM INTO HAVEN.
Reporter: CAROL WANTED TO GET
HIM INTO A NURSING HOME, BUT
THEY COULD NOT GET ANY MONEY
FROM ALDMAN.
JUST THE FACT THAT SOMEBODY
HAD AHOLD OF MY DAD'S MONEY,
WHICH WASN'T GOOD.
Reporter: A YEAR AFTER HER
FATHER DIED, ALDMAN WAS CHARGED
WITH RUNNING A MASSIVE FRAUD
SCHEME.
HE LATER PLED GUILTY AND WAS
ORDERED
INCLUDED $47,000 TO RUSSELL
HO
GET A CHECK ABOUT MAYBE
ONCE EVERY TWO OR E THREE YEARS.
I GOT ONE WITHI YEAR
FOR LIKE $10.
,
PAID JUST $2,100 IN
RESTITUTION.
HE STILL OWES $629,000.
SO FAR THIS YEAR, HE'S PAID JUST
$100.
AT THAT RATE T WILL TAKE HIM
HIS VICTIMS.
WE FOUND ALD A
MANAGER NEAR PITTSBURGH
INTERNATIONA
CAUGHT UP WITH HIM ONE DAY AS
HE WAS LEAVING THE BANK.
Reporter: PAUL VAN OSDOL FROM
CHANNEL 4.
WONDERING IF YOU COULD TELL ME
WHY YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING MORE
IN RESTITUTION.
THAT'S ALL THEY TOLD ME TO
PAY.
Reporter: YOU ONLY PAID $10
THIS Y
WHY HAV YOU BEEN PAYING
MORE?
IT'S ALREADY BEEN PAID.
THANK YOU.
YOU STILL HAVE THOUSANDS TO
PAY TO YOUR VICTIMS.
Reporter: WHO DECIDES HOW
RESTITUTI ALDMAN HAS TO
PAY EVERY MONTH?
I ASKED THE PAROLE BOARD, WHICH
OVERSEEING ALDMAN.
THEY TOLD ME THE AMOUNT IS
OVERSEEN BY A JUDGE, BUT
ALLEGHENY ME IT'S UP TO THE
ALDMAN OR ANY OTHER
PROBATIONER SHO PAY.
I WANTED TO SEE WHAT IT SAID IN
THE COURT FILE, BUT THE FILE IS
MISSING.
OUR SYSTEM REGARDING
RESTITUTION IS BROKEN.
Reporter: AFT WE CONTACTED
THE VICTIM ADVOCATE, SHE WAS
ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WENT WRONG
WITH THE CASE.
THE PLAN WAS CA TALK WITH ALLEGHENY COURT
THIS IS MORNING.
THEY WERE INCREDIBLY APOLOGETIC
G
HIS PAYMENT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY
INCREASE.
Reporter: LAST YEAR A STATE
TASK FORCE FOUND GLARING
PROBLEMS WITH RESTITUTION IN
PENNSYLVEA
S IN GALL GUY KNEE COUNTY
WERE PAID JUST 11% OF WHAT THEY
WERE OWED.
I ASKED ALLEGHENY COUNTY'S
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ABOUT THAT.
11%, ISN'T THERE SOMETHING MORE
THAT CAN BE DONE?
COMES IN AND THERE
ARE THIEVES TYPICALLY, IT'S
TOUGH TO FIND ASSETS THAT YOU
CAN TAKEY THEIR
OBLIGATION THE VICTIMS.
Reporter: THE D.A.'S OFFICE
SEIZED A DAYCARE ASSOCIATED WITH
THE CHURCH AND USED REVENUE TO
PAY SOME OF THE VICTIMS.
BUT CAROL GOT NONE OF THOSE
MONEYS.
SH NOT CONCERNED ABOUT M
SHE WISHES
OTHER VICTIMS, ESPECIALLY HER
FATHER, HAD GOTTEN WHAT THEY
DESERV
WITH HIS LAST
COUPLE MONTHS.
HE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A NURSING
HOME WITH SOMEBODY TAKING CARE
OF HIM AROUND THE CLOCK.
JUST A BETTER WAY TO END HIS
LIFE THAN WHAT HE HAD.
HERE'S SOMETHING CRIME
VICTIMS NEED TO BE AWARE OF.
IF THEY KNOW THE PERSON WHO
VICTIMIZED THEM CAN AFFORD MORE
RESTITUT CAN ASK PROBATION TO GO TO
