In the following February — sixteen months in — Gerald Rask was arrested at seven in the morning at an address in Norwalk.

I found out from a reporter’s voicemail, which is not how I would have designed it.

He was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and with violating the terms of a Commission bar through a nominee structure.

Corinne Rask was charged with conspiracy and with one count relating to false statements to the school, which was the count nobody expected and which was the one that frightened them.

Both pleaded guilty in the June.
