Updated 9/29: Doemini Mosley was sentenced on Tuesday to four months in prison for her role in stealing approximately $140,000 from Howard University, the Washington Post reported.

Original: A former associate director at Howard University plead guilty on Friday to defrauding the school of more than $100,000.

Doemini Mosley, 35, plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, according to a press release from Acting U.S. Attorney for D.C. Michael Sherwin’s office. The press release includes details about the activities and the guilty plea.

Her co-conspirator, Brian Johnson, a graduate of Howard University and former associate director of financial aid, pleaded guilty to the same crime last week.

Mosley worked at the school from 2011 until 2017, starting in the financial aid office before being named Associate Director of the Bursar’s Office, according to the release. According to the press release, Mosley initiated a plan in the fall of 2016 to send money from the university to Johnson, who would then share a portion of it with Mosley.

Between November 2016 and May of 2017, the school transferred more than $107,000 to Johnson in the form of fraudulent financial aid awards, even though he was no longer a student or employed by Howard.

Johnson said he shared half the money with Mosley in both cash and electronic payments, per the release from Sherwin’s office. Separately in May 2017, Mosley defrauded Howard University out of another $32,000.

Mosley faces a possible recommended sentence of between 10 and 24 months in prison, though the charge carries a maximum sentence of five years. A plea agreement requires Mosley to pay $139,697.75 in restitution and $85,850 in a forfeiture money judgment.

Judge Beryl A. Howell has accepted guilty pleas from both Johnson and Mosley. Johnson is set to be sentenced on September 25, while Mosley will be sentenced on October 2.

The case is part of an ongoing investigation by the FBI’s Washington Field Office.

Howard previously confirmed in 2018 that it had fired six employees for “gross misconduct and neglect of duties” after an investigation revealed that some employees who received tuition benefits to cover the cost of classes were also receiving university grants, according to the Washington Post.

That money exceeded the cost of tuition, signaling that the employees might be embezzling. The school did not identify the fired employees at the time.

In an emailed statement to DCist, in response to a question about whether the cases were connected, Howard University President Wayne Frederick said, “We are aware of the DOJ’s press releases addressing pleas by individuals that harmed the University. We are pleased that justice has been served.”
