Fox News
Disgraced Los Angeles political titan Mark Ridley-Thomas, 68, has been sentenced to 3½ years in prison for a benefit-seeking scheme involving USC's School of Social Work.
Judge Dale S. Fischer also ordered Ridley-Thomas, 68, to pay a $30,000 fine.
A jury in March found that Ridley-Thomas schemed in 2017 and 2018 with Marilyn Louise Flynn, then dean of USC's School of Social Work, to funnel $100,000 from a Ridley-Thomas campaign fund through the university to a nonprofit run by his son.
