Overview
- Former DTU president Teresa “Terrie” Brady received 27 months in federal prison, while former vice president Ruby George got 12 months and a day plus six months of home confinement.
- Judge Marcia Morales Howard called both sentences downward variances and credited George’s cooperation with investigators, with prosecutors noting she provided incriminating information about Brady.
- The court ordered roughly $2.6 million in restitution, though repayment to the union is not guaranteed; Brady has already paid more than $1.3 million toward forfeiture and George about $160,000.
- Howard recommended placement at low-security federal prison camps and directed both defendants to report by 2 p.m. on April 16.
- Prosecutors said the pair stole more than $2.5 million by cashing in unearned leave and concealing it from auditors and regulators, with the FBI raiding DTU headquarters in September 2023.
