Ex-Dorothy Brown worker pleads guilty to lying to grand jury
Posted April 19, 2016 11:00 pm
Cook County's embattled circuit court clerk may have won the Democratic primary last month, but her trouble at the federal courthouse continued to haunt her Wednesday.
Former clerk employee Sivasubramani Rajaram, 48, pleaded guilty to perjury Wednesday morning, admitting he lied on Oct. 1 to a federal grand jury that had been investigating the purchasing of jobs and promotions within Dorothy Brown's office.
His plea agreement does not indicate he is cooperating with federal investigators. He faces a likely prison sentence of between 10 and 16 months behind bars, and his sentencing was set for Sept. 14. A spokeswoman for Brown's office could not be reached for comment.
