Secretary Gets Probation for Using Law Firm Credit Card for Exotic Dancer Trip
A former legal secretary at Saul Ewing in Washington, D.C., has been sentenced to probation for using a law firm credit card to finance a trip involving her male exotic dancer business.
Jarriette Richie was sentenced to five years’ probation and ordered to pay $56,000 in restitution, according to the Washington Post blog The Crime Scene.
Lawyers for Richie had sought leniency because her kidneys have failed and she is waiting for a transplant, the story says. She could have been sentenced to as much as a year in prison.
Richie was accused of putting more than $46,000 on a law firm credit card to finance a trip to Puerto Rico where several women would be entertained by male performers from her business, Show N Tell Entertainment. Prosecutors said she wanted to live beyond her means and was driving a newer Mercedes Benz.
