Former Sheriff Leo Connolly was convicted in August 2008 of two misdemeanor counts of Official Misconduct. The convictions were related to various alleged acts of corruption within the department. Connolly was prosecuted by R. Michael Tantillo, District Attorney of Ontario County, who was appointed as Special Prosecutor due to potential conflicts of interest within the Seneca County District Attorney’s office.
