Iowan gets probation for dating website scam

BURLINGTON — An Iowa woman will serve five years of probation for scamming money from a South Carolina woman she met on a military oriented dating website. Doris Warth, 46 of New London, was ordered at Monday’s sentencing to pay $11,000 in restitution. Warth was given a deferred judgment, which means her crime will be removed from her record if she successfully completes probation. The South Carolina woman was led to believe she was engaged to a serviceman in Afghanistan.
