Federal prosecutors filed criminal charges Friday against former Worth Township Supervisor John O’Sullivan, an ex-state lawmaker, in the latest development in an ongoing investigation revolving around the politically connected red-light camera company SafeSpeed.
O’Sullivan, already under scrutiny for his role as a SafeSpeed sales consultant, resigned from his job in Worth Township early last year. He announced the decision shortly after another SafeSpeed consultant, Patrick Doherty, was indicted as part of the investigation.
Federal prosecutors have said they expect to file additional charges in the case involving Doherty. And the accusations they’ve now made against O’Sullivan largely mirror those against Doherty and Omar Maani, a former SafeSpeed partner.
