LOS ANGELES – Adult industry hanger-on Joey Buttafuoco, whose 17-year-old lover, Amy Fisher, became known as the Long Island Lolita after shooting his wife in the head, was sentenced to a year in jail for auto insurance fraud.
Buttafuoco, 48, pleaded guilty to a single felony count and was immediately booked into the Los Angeles County Jail. Prosecutors said Buttafuoco, who co-owns a San Fernando Valley body shop, told undercover agents how to file phony insurance claims.
Superior Court Judge David Horwitz also sentenced Buttafuoco to five years’ probation and ordered him to pay more than $4,600 in restitution.
Buttafuoco was a Long Island auto body shop owner in 1992 when Fisher shot his wife, Mary Jo, in the head. Fisher served seven years in prison.
Buttafuoco pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape and served four months in jail. He and Mary Jo moved to California, then divorced.
