A North Gosford bookkeeper has pleaded guilty at Gosford Court today, to defrauding Autism Central Coast out of nearly $330,000.

Court Documents state the 22-year-old woman claims she needed the money because Asian Mafia turned up to her partners house and threatened to kill her 6-month-old baby.

An audit in January discovered Marissa Esposito was pocketing funds from staff super, insurance and other payments, into her personal bank accounts.

She'll be sentenced in May.
