ST. LOUIS, MO—The United States Attorney's Office announced today that Danny O'Guin was sentenced to eight months in prison involving a scheme to get loans from church members between April 2006 and March 2009. O'Guin exploited his position as a religious leader to the members of the church who felt compelled to agree to the loans despite their reservations about the transactions. At various times, O'Guin falsely stated that he needed money for a particular purpose and then would use the borrowed money for another purpose. He also used false pretenses to put off or lull members asking for their money back. In addition to his prison sentence, the defendant will be ordered to pay restitution as determined by the court, in an amount in excess of $100,000.

DANNY O'GUIN, formerly of Florissant, MO, pled guilty in November to one felony count of mail fraud and appeared today for sentencing before United States District Judge Henry Autrey.
