Former Boston Activist Monica Cannon-Grant Sentenced for Fraud

Monica Cannon-Grant, a community activist and former Bostonian of the Year, has been sentenced to probation and home confinement following her conviction on multiple fraud charges. The sentencing comes after federal prosecutors outlined the extent of her fraudulent activities, which included the misappropriation of funds intended for anti-violence initiatives. Despite a recommendation for prison time from prosecutors, Cannon-Grant will serve her sentence under less restrictive conditions. She has been ordered to forfeit over $220,000 related to the fraud scheme.
