Christina Stevens Gregory, a 71-year-old resident of Rock Hill, has been sentenced to two years in federal prison after admitting to wire fraud. The court found that Gregory embezzled approximately $3.3 million from her employer, Industrial Test Systems, Inc., over a period spanning two decades, from 2004 to 2023.

As an accountant for Industrial Test Systems, Gregory misused her position by depositing checks intended for the company into her personal bank account. United States District Judge Mary Geiger Lewis handed down the sentence of 24 months imprisonment and ordered three years of court-ordered supervision upon release. Gregory must also pay restitution amounting to $2,256,900.44 to Industrial Test Systems.

The investigation was conducted by the FBI Columbia Field Office in conjunction with the Rock Hill Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Matthews is overseeing the prosecution.
