Clinton County man sentenced on grand theft charges

DAYTON – The Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Securities announces that Shawn Long, a Clinton County resident, was sentenced March 13, to up to five years of probation in the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas. His sentencing follows his plead of no contest to charges related to real estate investment fraud.

Long was indicted in May 2023 by a Montgomery County grand jury on two counts of grand theft, both of which are fourth-degree felonies. 

According to the indictment, which followed a criminal referral by the Ohio Division of Securities, Long allegedly misappropriated between $7,500 to $150,000 from an Ohio resident in funds received related to a real estate investment between Oct. 19, 2018 to July 31, 2019. Long pleaded no contest to both counts during a hearing on Feb. 28, 2025.

In addition to five years of probation, he was ordered to pay $89,187.32 in restitution, with required monthly payments of $500. Long could face possible incarceration for failing to make monthly restitution payments.
