A Manhattan Assemblywoman pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to two charges of making false statements and will resign her seat as a result.
Gabriela Rosa, 47, pleaded guilty to lying to immigration authorities about her marital relationship in 2005.
She also pleaded guilty to making false statements in a bankruptcy petition in 2009.
Rosa, who represents parts of Inwood and Washington Heights, was first elected in 2012.
Before that she served as a staff member in the State Assembly and City Council.
Rosa faces 10 years in prison.
Sentencing has been scheduled for October 3.
She has agreed not to contest any sentence between a year and 18 months.
