Gimme a break, begs con pol’s ex

- Priscilla DeGregory

The ex-lover of convicted former Brooklyn Assemblyma­n William Boyland Jr. is asking for a sentence of just probation for her involvemen­t in his bribery schemes.

Ry-Ann Hermon, who served as Boyland’s chief of staff and was also romantical­ly involved with the pol, is asking Judge Sandra Townes for no jail time ahead of sentencing in Brooklyn federal court Friday.

Hermon cooperated with the feds.

While Hermon faces up to 87 months, her defense attorney, Douglas Byrne, asked the judge in a letter to consider that “the only financial gain Ms. Hermon received from her conduct was $2,100.”
