A federal judge dismissed bribery charges against former Lieutenant Governor Brain Benjamin on Monday morning that were brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and led him to resign from his post in April.In , U.S. District Court Judge Paul Oetken concluded SDNY's indictment "fails to allege an explicit quid pro quo."
"For the reasons that follow, the Court concludes that the Indictment fails to allege an explicit quid pro quo, which is an essential element of the bribery and honest services wire fraud charges brought against Benjamin," the ruling read.
