From the U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Massachusetts:

BOSTON – Francis J. Moloney, 43, of Marlborough, was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Court Denise J. Casper to 12 months probation, with the first three months of that period in home confinement, as well as 80 hours of community service.  In February, 2016, Moloney pleaded guilty to misuse of a social security number.
