  • Kristen J, 27, agreed to give up her license Monday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of sharing unlawful surveillance Photos
  • As part of a plea deal that nixed the felony charges in the case, the nurse who used to work at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse also agreed to spend three years on probation.
