A man accused of ripping off a Greensburg family will be sentenced in court Wednesday morning in Oklahoma.

Alfred Soulek faces 6 counts of home repair fraud. The contractor is charged with taking homeowners money, starting the job and then disappearing.

Greensburg residents Marilyn and Robin Brown gave Soulek $180,000 last summer to rebuild their tornado damaged home. He took the money and did a little work and then he never returned.

The Brown's are going to be in court Wednesday to face Soulek.

"I don't know how he can sleep at night. I don't know how you do this to someone, how?" says Marilyn Brown.

Volunteers from all over the country have come to help the Brown's finish their home, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

The Kansas Attorney General is also investigating Soulek for home repair fraud, but so far, no charges have been filed.

About ten years should be about right; not probation
