Each count against 50-year-old Ryan Ross and 47-year-old Vanessa Rhodes is punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison.
The indictment from the U.S. Attorney's Office claims Ross---while a Director at the CHA---illegally steered nearly $5M in construction and renovation work to business owned by Rhodes, and that in return, she sent more than $400,000 in kickbacks to Ross.
