Marilyn Flynn, an 84-year-old former dean of USC's School of Social Work who admitted bribing longtime Los Angeles politician Mark Ridley-Thomas while he served on the county Board of Supervisors, was sentenced Monday to three years probation and ordered to pay a $150,000 fine.
School of Social Work who admitted bribing longtime Los Angeles politician Mark Ridley-Thomas while he served on the county Board of Supervisors, was sentenced Monday to three years probation and ordered to pay a $150,000 fine.
The judge said she decided against imprisonment after considering such mitigating factors as Flynn's "early and fulsome acceptance of responsibility," including her voluntary disclosure of incriminating information previously unknown to the government. Flynn "hasn't tried to minimize her actions," Assistant U.S. Attorney Lindsey Greer Dotson said.
Immediately after Flynn informed Ridley-Thomas that the USC payment to United Ways and PRPI had been "cleared," Ridley-Thomas facilitated a May 10, 2018, meeting between the dean and a high-level county official to move forward on the county's approval of Flynn's desired expansion of an online mental health services contract that would have improved her school's ailing finances.
Last month, Fischer upheld the convictions, denying Ridley-Thomas' efforts to have the verdicts vacated.

Mark Meadows joked about voter fraud claims then repeated same claims to Trump days later, WaPoFormer U.S. attorney and lead investigator for the House Select January 6 Committee, Tim Heaphy, reacts to new Washington Post reporting that Mark Meadows joked about Trump’s fraudulent election claims before January 6 and then repeated those same claims to Trump days later. Heaphy also addresses the question of Meadows’ key role in what happened that day and why his potential exposure may explain his recent retreat from both Trump and the public. “Meadows has exposure, there’s no question. He himself was in the center of all the prongs of the multi-part plan to disrupt the joint session,” Heaphy explains.
