Jodie Foster's elderly father could be sentenced to more than 25 years in prison Thursday – one day after a jury in Van Nuys, California convicted him of deceiving property investors out of nearly $200,000.

Lucius Foster, 89, was found guilty Wednesday on 21 counts of grand theft, after taking $5,000 down-payments from 25 investors on low-cost homes that were never built; many of the victims were elderly and low-income.

Foster – who’s estranged from his two-time Oscar winning daughter - was also convicted of nine counts of operating without a contractor's license.
