Police Chief Found Guilty in SJP Surrogate Scandal
An Ohio police chief was found guilty on Monday on three of six charges after being accused of stealing from the surrogate mom who carried Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s twin daughters.
Martin’s Ferry Police Chief Barry Carpenter, 40, and another police chief met with photographers back in May and gave them items such as a poem, photos, legal documents about the surrogacy agreement, and ultra sound pictures. A photographer told the surrogacy agency immediately.
After a long 12 hours of deliberation, a jury found Carpenter guilty for receiving stolen property, theft in office and tampering with evidence. He was found not guilty on two accounts of burglary and one count of unauthorized use of property or services.
Carpenter kept quiet during proceedings and laid his head down in his hands after the convictions were told. He now faces up 10 years in prison and his sentencing will be on December 10. Until then, he has to wear a home confinement device at this mother’s house and will be tracked with a GPS device.
Meanwhile, his alleged accomplice, Bridgeport Police Chief Chad M. Dojack, 29, will stand trial in January.
