Ex-nanny for Penguins player gets 5-year federal sentence

The former nanny of Pittsburgh Penguins player Chris Kunitz was sentenced today to five years in federal prison for setting fire to her rental residence and then filing fraudulent insurance claims for the contents.

The public defender for Andrea Forsythe, 28, unsuccessfully sought a term running concurrently to one she'll receive next month for thefts from the Penguins player and other people for whom she worked as a nanny.

She also was ordered to pay more than $179,000 restitution to the insurance companies that covered her losses in the June 23, 2014, fire on McVey Street in South Fayette.
