Former Bronx Councilman Larry Seabrook who was found guilty on nine counts of fraud and conspiracy was given his sentence of five years in jail by Federal Justice Deborah Batts. The U.S. Attorney had requested that Seabrook get at least a seven year sentence. The judge also ordered Seabrook to repay just over $619,000.00 in restitution, and Seabrook has until March 8th to report to prison.
It was then Councilman Seabrook who said during the debate on changing the term limit law that he needed ten years in office to be able to get his full pension. It is our understanding that his pension will now be forfeited with this conviction.
