Former NARAL NY president admits expenses were fake

Back in February, I reported that former NARAL New York president Kelli Conlin was facing charges for spending her organization's money to support her lavish lifestyle including Armani clothing, a summer rental home, car service and 22K on meals.

Now Conlin has admitted to stealing from her former employer.

Former NARAL Pro-Choice New York leader Kelli Conlin pleaded guilty to falsifying business records, a felony. Her case will be closed without jail time or probation if she pays more than $75,000 in restitution.

Conlin, 53, said little beyond answering yes to a judge and prosecutor's questions as she acknowledged abusing her expense privileges at the organization she led from 1992 to 2010. She was fired in January after an internal audit brought the improprieties to light, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said.
