Belinda Julie Walker, 36, was handed a two-year suspended jail sentence in the ACT Supreme Court on Thursday having pleaded guilty to burglary and theft.

She also asked Justice Richard Refshauge to take into account two additional theft offences.

Court documents said Walker met the man and his partner while working at the McKellar Soccer Club.

They offered her work cleaning their Giralang home but the deal was terminated shortly after and she returned the keys in December 2012.

On March 8, Walker went to the home to confront the man after she discovered he had been telling others he had sex with her.

She then broke in after finding no one home and stole almost $15,000 worth of property, including electronics, alcohol, jewellery, and $10,500 in cash.

A house sitter alerted the authorities after discovering the burglary in the afternoon that afternoon.Walker’s car was stopped by police later that night and she consented to a search of her Melba home.

Police raided the property soon after midnight and Walker identified the property she had taken during the break in.

All the items, except $1000, were recovered and she told officers she committed the offence because she was angry with the victim.

Walker was also sentenced for stealing a bag, containing $1863 worth of items, from the Woden Hellenic Club in April.

The offender then used one of the stolen credit cards to withdraw $190 from a Dickson ATM.

But she was caught after police matched CCTV footage of the theft with her licence, which she used to sign in to the club.

Defence lawyer, Alyn Doig, SC, said the Hellenic club thefts were an error of judgment after Walker took ecstasy and alcohol.

Mr Doig said the burglary was “completely stupid” and had stemmed from resentment, rather than greed.

He admitted a jail term was inevitable but argued it should be wholly suspended.

Mr Doig said his client had since moved to Queensland where she had been offered work in the hospitality industry.

Justice Refshauge sentenced Walker to two years jail, suspended upon entering a good behaviour order for the same timeframe.

He accepted the crimes were an aberration after Walker let her guard down “big time”.

The judge said he was prepared to risk letting her walk away without time behind bars because he was confident it would not happen again.

But Justice Refshauge warned Walker she could be re-sentenced to full time custody if she re-offended.
