PROVIDENCE – A young progressive who won a House seat in 2018 and then admitted he’d lied about his campaign finances has been sentenced on felony embezzlement and campaign finance charges.
Laufton Ascencao, 27, never ended up taking the oath of office to serve District 68, representing Bristol and Warren
Discrepancies came to light shortly after his victory, leading to a criminal investigation, and on Wednesday, Asencao pleaded no contest to a charge of felony embezzlement, three counts of failing to report campaign expenditures, and one count of failure to have a duly appointed treasurer certify the accuracy of his campaign finance reports.
