LOS ANGELES—A former dean of the University of Southern California (USC) School of Social Work has agreed to plead guilty to a federal bribery charge in a political corruption case involving suspended Los Angeles City Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas, prosecutors announced Sept. 15.
Marilyn Louise Flynn, 83, of Los Feliz, is expected to plead guilty in the coming weeks to the bribery charge and pay a fine of at least $100,000, in exchange for prosecutors recommending that she serve an anticipated 10-year prison term on home confinement, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
