New York Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti was sentenced to four years in prison for stealing nearly $300,000 from his former client, adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
District Judge Jesse Furman said Avenatti's conduct was"so brazen and egregious" adding, he"took advantage of a vulnerable victim given her unorthodox career and somewhat unorthodox beliefs."Avenatti was convicted in February of one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. He faced as much as 20 years on the wire fraud charge and a mandatory two-year sentence for aggravated identity theft.
Michael Avenatti and the news media's credulity 02:42Last month, Avenatti wrote an apology letter to Daniels, which he provided to the judge, in which he says,"It is obvious that I failed you in many respects and that I disappointed you and let you down in multiple ways." He added,"I wish that we could turn back the clock so that the mistakes I made would never be repeated. I am truly sorry.
