Hoxie admitted to leaking a talking points memo about Disney’s earnings to her boyfriend, who shopped the document to 33 hedge funds, according to the FBI. The boyfriend, Yonni Sebbag, was previously hit with a 27-month jail sentence.
Hoxie appeared in Los Angeles district court today to receive the sentence. She faced up to 10 months in prison.
Hoxie, who said she didn’t know her boyfriend’s plans for the document, served as executive assistant to Zenia Mucha, executive VP of corporate communications for The Walt Disney Co.
