Ex-D.C. worker charged again after conviction overturned

A former D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs worker whose bribery conviction was overturned by an appeals court has been hit with a new set of charges for the same conduct.

Ikela Marcea Dean had been found guilty in 2008 of one count of bribery and one count of extortion on allegations that she demanded cash in exchange for business licenses. She was sentenced to more than two years in prison.
