NEW YORK (AP) — “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” actress Tamara Tunie is speaking out about being a real-life crime victim in New York City.
Tunie told a judge Tuesday that her former business manager, Joseph Cilibrasi (sihl-ih-BRAY’-see), befriended her family and gained her trust to steal from her.
She says “show business is fickle,” so she cannot be assured of replacing the roughly $1.4 million he admitted taking.
Cilibrasi was sentenced Tuesday to 2 12 to 7 12 years in prison.
He pleaded guilty in November to stealing from Tunie and other clients. They include Kansas City Symphony music director Michael Stern.
