KILPATRICK'S EX-AIDE/LOVER PLEADS GUILTY: Christine Beatty gets jail time for lying about sex with ex-Detroit mayor.
*Christine Beatty, the ex-aide to former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, will spend four months in jail after pleading guilty Monday to two obstruction of justice charges stemming from their infamous text-messaging sex scandal.
"I lied under oath," a tearful Beatty told the judge, echoing the words her former boss, Kilpatrick, uttered in a courtroom during his own guilty plea three months earlier. Both admitted lying when they claimed they were not romantically involved. They were both married at the time.
Under the deal with prosecutors, Beatty, 38, will be sentenced next month to serve four months in jail and five years of probation. She will also pay $100,000 in restitution to the city, reports the Associated Press.
The plea deal also called for Beatty to read aloud a statement saying she lied in the whistle-blowers' trial, in a deposition and at a 2007 hearing.
Beatty, who had been charged with perjury, misconduct and obstruction of justice, was initially unable to choke back tears, so Wayne County Circuit Judge Timothy Kenny gave her a moment to compose herself.
"I lied under oath ... ," Beatty said. "I did so with the intent to mislead the court and jury and to impede and obstruct the fair administration of justice."
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said she was happy with the outcome. "We live in a society where greed is glorified," she said. "There comes a time when you have to draw a line in the sand and say, 'No more.'"
Kilpatrick is serving a four-month jail sentence as part of his plea, which also called for him to spend five years on probation, pay $1 million in restitution, surrender his law license and resign as mayor.
