AKRON, Ohio (AP) - The former chief financial officer of the Ohio workers' compensation agency was sentenced Wednesday to more than five years in federal prison for accepting bribes in an investment scandal widely blamed for state Republican losses in last year's election.
Terrence Gasper, 60, pleaded guilty last June to accepting the bribes to dole out millions of dollars in agency investment business. He got less than the maximum 20-year sentence because he testified against others.
Gasper apologized to his children and said in court that he never intended to commit a crime.
