Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Disgraced Ex-NY Police Chief Kerik Gets 4-Year Sentence
Kerik is scheduled to report to prison May 17. The prosecution had asked in court papers that he be remanded immediately to prison after sentencing, citing concerns he might become a fugitive.

In October, the judge temporarily jailed Kerik for violating a court order and leaking sealed information relating to his upcoming trial to generate public sympathy.
At the time, the judge showed little love for Kerik, describing him as a “toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance.”
Today’s sentencing capped a tragic downfall for a driven man who seemed to have had such a promising future despite all of his challenges, which included having an alcoholic father and a mother who was a prostitute.
