Ex-Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown sentenced to five years in prison for fraud charges – By Sally Persons (washingtontimes.com) / Dec 4 2017
Former Rep. Corrine Brown was sentenced to five years in prison and three years probation Monday after being found guilty of fraud earlier this year, the Florida Times-Union reported.
Brown, Florida Democrat, was charged with supporting a charity fund for poor students that she then used for personal purposes, and lying on her tax returns.
She was convicted in May after two former aides accepted plea deals in return for testifying against her.
“This was a crime born of entitlement and greed, committed to supporting a lifestyle that was beyond their means,” said Judge Timothy Corrigan, according to Nate Monroe, a reporter for the Times-Union.
