BALTIMORE, MD—Marilyn Mosby, who served as Baltimore City State’s Attorney, has been sentenced to a year of home confinement with electronic monitoring after she was convicted of fraud.

The former state’s attorney was also ordered to forfeit 90% of the property she bought with the fraudulently obtained mortgage, including any appreciation, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Maryland District.

Mosby was convicted on federal charges of making a false mortgage application in February 2024. She was accused of buying a condominium in Long Boat Key, Florida, with a fraudulently obtained mortgage.

In November 2023, she was also convicted of two counts of perjury for withdrawing funds from the City of Baltimore’s Deferred Compensation Plan, claiming she suffered adverse financial consequences during the COVID-19 pandemic while she was the Baltimore City State’s Attorney.

The sentence was announced by U.S. Attorney for the Maryland District Erek L. Barron.
