WATERBURY, Conn. — Waterbury's convicted former mayor is seeking to have his prison sentence reduced.
Philip Giordano is serving a 37-year sentence after being convicted of sexually abusing 9- and 11-year-old girls. Giordano was cooperating with federal authorities in an organized crime investigation in 2001 when his crimes were discovered.
In a recent court filing, Giordano's attorney says that while in prison Giordano has taught classes to inmates and also has continued to help federal authorities including the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation, which investigates organized crime. A hearing on the motion hasn't yet been scheduled.
