New York law enforcers arrested Caroline Giuliani, daughter of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, after she allegedly took over $100 worth of makeup from an Upper East Side Sephora store and put the cosmetics into her jacket pocket. The items included a Slim roller ball funnel, Dior Skin flash primer, Hd bliss, Aqua cream, and a hair net.
The New York Post reports that she was placed behind bars at the 19th Precinct station for petit larceny last week. However, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office may have some difficulties prosecuting Caroline Giuliani because Sephora stated that they declined to press charges once they learned that Caroline was the daughter of the city's former mayor.
Prosecutors can still charge Caroline with the crime, but it might be challenging without Sephora's cooperation. If the young woman is charged with petit larceny, she has the right to speak with a New York criminal defense attorney so that she can be defended of the charges in court. The Manhattan DA's office has until August 31 to file a criminal court complaint against the young woman.
Caroline Giuliani, 20, is currently a student at Harvard University and is studying theater. According to Associated Content, the young woman is not on speaking terms with her father due to a divorce from her mother. She voiced her support for Barack Obama as a presidential candidate back in 2007, during her father's failed attempt at the Republican nomination in the election.
