CONCORD, N.H. (AP) – A former Republican consultant was sentenced Tuesday to five months in jail for jamming Democratic telephone lines in several New Hampshire cities during the 2002 general election.
Allen Raymond, who was president of the Alexandria, Va.-based GOP Marketplace LLC at the time, did not comment as he left the U.S. District Court sentencing. He had pleaded guilty in June.
Judge Joseph DiClerico also imposed a fine of $15,600, the amount Raymond’s company was paid by New Hampshire Republicans for telemarketing services in 2002.
Raymond, 37, apologized before being sentenced.
“Your honor, I did a bad thing,” he said. “While what I did was outside my character, I take full responsibility for my actions.”
