A veteran Los Angeles<\/a> politician was sentenced Monday to 3\u00bd years in prison for a scheme in which he sought benefits for his son in exchange for supporting lucrative government contracts with the University of Southern California School of Social Work.<\/p>\n

Mark Ridley-Thomas, most recently a city councilmember, was sentenced in U.S. District Court on seven felony convictions including conspiracy, bribery and fraud for actions while he was a member of the powerful Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.<\/p>\n

Judge Dale S. Fischer also ordered Ridley-Thomas, 68, to pay a $30,000 fine.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the son also received graduate school admission, a scholarship and a paid professorship in the course of the conspiracy and bribery scheme.<\/p>\n

Flynn, 84, pleaded guilty last year to one count of bribery<\/a> and was sentenced to 1\u00bd years of home confinement.<\/p>\n

The City Council suspended Ridley-Thomas in October 2021 after he was charged and his seat was declared vacant when he was convicted.<\/p>\n

It was a stunning fall for a once-commanding figure in LA politics<\/a>, who earlier served in the state Senate and Assembly, and was known for his involvement in civil rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
