Jodie Foster’s 89-year-old estranged father was sentenced Friday to five years in jail for taking $130,000 in down payments for homes that he never built.<\/p>\n

Lucius Foster, a Sherman Oaks, Calif., building contractor, could have received as much as 25 years after being convicted<\/a> of 21 counts of grand theft and nine counts of contracting without a license, all misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gregory A. Dohi lamented that the trial didn’t stop Foster from soliciting customers.<\/p>\n

“Despite your personal charm, you are dangerous,” Dohi said. <\/p>\n

The prosecution alleged that nine additional people came forward in recent days, and that while the jury was deliberating, Foster emailed a potential victim that he was looking for lots.<\/p>\n

A restitution hearing was set for Feb. 23. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
