A former financial analyst for the Patent and Trademark Office has been sentenced to a year and a half in prison for stealing more than $500,000 from a government account.
A former boyfriend who helped her received an identical sentence.
Karen L. Parish, 39, of Woodbridge pleaded guilty in federal court in Alexandria to embezzling roughly $534,000 over a seven-year period. She paid the money to accounts controlled by Michael H. Reid, 50, of Fort Washington, Md.
The two would split the money.
Prosecutors had sought a sentence of two years and three months. Parish was also ordered to make restitution, but in court records she said the money has all been spent.
