LittleSis: John Venditto

Admitted in July 2019 to a felony charge of corrupt use of position or authority and a misdemeanor charge of official misconduct in a deal that stripped him of his law license but didn’t include any jail time, probation or community service. The former GOP power broker’s admissions came two years after indictments also ensnared a handful of others with Oyster Bay ties. Venditto served two decades as Oyster Bay’s top elected official before resigning in January 2017 as the federal corruption case was pending against him that ended in May 2018 with his acquittal. Venditto pleaded not guilty at his June 2017 arraignment in Nassau County Court to 10 state charges — three felonies and seven misdemeanors. Those charges followed a 14-month probe by Singas’ Public Corruption Bureau that included extensive use of wiretaps and exposed what she said was “a shocking and interconnected web of public corruption” in Oyster Bay.
