Diane Gordon

Assemblywoman Diane Gordon of Brooklyn was found guilty this afternoon of two counts of receiving bribes, two counts of official misconduct and two counts of “receiving rewards for official misconduct,” according to a spokesman for Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes.

Gordon could face between 2 1/3 to 10 years in prison, and will, of course, be forced to give up her seat.

One politician considered a possible contender for her position is Charles Barron, a term-limited Councilman in the district who is, right now, running for borough president.

UPDATE: Here is an official statement from the city's Department of Investigation. And Gordon's official Assembly page is already down.

UPDATE II: Sheldon Silver released a statement: "This is an unfortunate situation and my heart goes out to Ms. Gordon’s family. However, this has been proven to be a breach of the public trust and the legal system is dealing with it accordingly."  read more »
