Atlantic City, NJ Mayor Frank Gilliam Jr. is facing decades behind bars after admitting to stealing over $87,000 from a youth basketball team.

On Thursday, Gilliam pleaded guiltyafter an FBI investigation last year determined that he stole money raised for the Atlantic City Starz team over a five-year period beginning in 2013, even after he was elected mayor in 2017.

Gilliam is facing up to 20 years on a federal corruption charge, and could be forbidden from ever holding public office again.
