NEW YORK (AP) - A New York state senator was charged with defrauding a nonprofit organization to pay for baseball tickets, college tuition and other personal expenses, according to a federal indictment.
Sen. Efrain Gonzalez Jr., 58, a Democrat from the Bronx, pleaded not guilty Friday to mail fraud and was released on $25,000 bond. If convicted, he could receive up to 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
"I'm going to fight this case," the senator said outside court.
