A former New York state assemblyman was sentenced on Monday to 13 months in federal prison for claiming nearly $55,000 in travel expenses for trips he never took, authorities said.
William Scarborough, 69, a Democrat who represented the New York City borough of Queens, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and theft charges in May and agreed to resign his position.
He also pleaded guilty in May to state charges and was expected to be sentenced to a year in prison in Albany state court later on Monday, according to a statement from New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
