PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — One of two remaining defendants in a kickback scheme that targeted the U.S. Navy said on Tuesday she plans to change her plea to guilty, and a federal court filing she made indicates her boyfriend, accused of being the ringleader of the scheme, will do the same.
Mary O’Rourke, who was charged last year and had pleaded not guilty, said she would plead guilty to theft of government property. A plea agreement signed by her and prosecutors and filed with U.S. District Court in Providence says she received somewhere in the range of $200,000 to $1 million in government funds from the scheme.
