A prominent California Democrat, who previously served as the Los Angeles County supervisor and a city councilman, will spend more than three years in federal prison for corruption.
Mark Ridley-Thomas, a former California state senator and assemblyman, will spend 42 months behind bars following a scheme that prosecutors said was designed for his son to be paid by the University of Southern California in exchange for him using his position to vote to award the school favorable city contracts.
Prosecutors called the scheme a “shakedown” that the local lawmaker intended to result in his son Sebastian Ridley-Thomas receiving up to $100,000 funneled into his non-profit, CBS News reported.
