No jail for NV ex-jailer in 'Girls Gone Wild' case
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- A judge ordered no prison time Monday for the final defendant in a bribery scheme that allowed "Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis to dine on sushi and watch "The Office" and "Family Guy" DVDs while jailed in Nevada on tax charges.
U.S. District Judge Larry Hicks sentenced ex-law officer Mary Boxx to 100 hours community service, three years probation and a $1,680 fine after she pleaded guilty to accepting a gratuity as a public official.
The maximum possible penalty for the crime was two years in prison. Corrections officials had recommended Boxx serve at least four months house arrest.
Boxx tearfully apologized to the judge for the "nightmare" she had put her family through during the past two years.
He agreed to let her move to New York so she can help care for her five grandchildren, including one with autism, because her daughter's husband is about to be deployed to Afghanistan.
