A woman who lost $60,000 in a romance scam will finally see restitution after a judge sentenced Cory Woodall to two years in prison and ordered him to repay the money he admitted spending while laundering funds tied to a scheme that convinced her she was helping a retired U.S. Army general return to the country.

On Thursday, Cory Woodall appeared before a judge asking for permission to return to his home state of North Carolina, but the judge denied his request.

Volusia County detectives arrest a 56-year-old on charges of organized scheme to defraud and grand theft.
