Former Northern Kentucky University Athletic Director Scott Eaton accepted a 10-year prison sentence Thursday when he pleaded guilty to theft charges in Campbell County.
Eaton was fired in March 2013 after admitting to having inappropriate relationships with four NKU employees and one adult student. An NKU investigation found he had diverted $311,215 to his personal use.As part of the guilty plea to theft by unlawful taking charge, Eaton, 50, agreed to a 10-year sentence and is required to repay NKU the full amount.
He had used his NKU credit card to buy Kroger gift cards and kept reimbursements from personal expenditures.
“At a time when higher education institutions are being asked to accomplish more with smaller tuition increases and declining state support, the unconscionable behavior of Mr. Eaton is completely unacceptable and I think the punishment fits this crime,” Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway said during an afternoon briefing at NKU.
