LOS ANGELES - A man who romanced three women, including “black-ish” star Jenifer Lewis, in order to con them out of money for his phoney businesses was sentenced Tuesday to eight years in prison. Antonio Wilson, 58, of Santa Monica, was sentenced in a federal courtroom in Los Angeles and ordered to pay $272,000 in restitution. U.S. District Judge Stephen V. Wilson described Wilson’s behaviour as “vicious,“ according to a statement from the U.S. attorney’s office. “Predator is not usually a term referred to in the fraud context, but it is an apt description here,” the judge said. Wilson was accused of stealing $50,000 from Lewis, who plays Ruby on the ABC sitcom “black-ish,” after meeting her at a gym where he was a manager.
