Former Delaware legislative aide guilty of stealing donated funds
DOVER — A former General Assembly employee accused of stealing money that had been donated to a colleague as a retirement gift was convicted Thursday on two felony counts.
A Kent County jury convicted Dawn Hill, 52, of theft from a person age 62 or older, and issuing a bad check over $1,500.
Hill is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 16. Prosecutors are not seeking prison time but instead will ask for probation and restitution.
Hill, who worked as an executive assistant to the Legislature's controller general, was accused of taking money that had been raised in 2018 for former Secretary of the Senate Bernard Brady and using it for more than a year to pay her credit card bills.
