DOVER, Del. - Delaware Auditor of Accounts Kathleen McGuiness has been sentenced following her corruption trial that took place last summer.

McGuiness has been sentenced to:

For conflict of interest:

  • A fine of $10,000
  • One year level 1 probation

For official misconduct: 

  • One year level 1 probation
