CONCORD - A Londonderry woman has been found guilty of five class A misdemeanor counts of Identification of Political Advertising contrary to RSA 664:16.
The verdict against Debra Paul, 64, of Londonderry came following a bench trial in Derry District Court last month.
The state charged Paul with six misdemeanor counts of identification of political advertising based on her publishing political advertisements in the Londonderry Times that did not comply with RSA 664:16's political advertising disclaimer requirements.
The New Hampshire Attorney General's Office had warned Paul in 2019 and 2021 regarding her violations of RSA 664:16 and its requirements.
The statute mandates the identification of political advertising in all publications.
A Class A misdemeanor carries a maximum sentence of one year in county jail.
Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 20 at the Derry District Court.
