In a follow-up to one of Gothamist's favorite stories, it turns out that Julie Diaco, who was arrested while an NYU freshman for dealing pot out of her dorm room, will get probation. Diaco held up her end of a deal from September 2004: Completing a rehab program at Clear View and being clean for 18 months. Of course, back when the deal was arranged, people attributed the leniency to her family's wealth - after all, dealing coke, pot, LSD, mushrooms and more is a big deal - especially when it was obvious she was running a thriving business and happened that she was carrying pot and a scale when selling to undercover cops. Her lawyer said that Diaco is "is a very different person than she was 18 months ago" and attends a community college in NJ. Julie, we wish you well - maybe you'll find your way helping other drug offenders or addicts.
The Post officially dubs her the "Pot Hottie," noting that she was wearing knee-high leather stiletto boots and a pin-striped suit. And while a reminder about the "pot princess" is probably what NYU doesn't want to hear, it's crowing about being the number 1 "dream school" of college applicants for the third year in a row.

I think she should be thrown in jail and locked away forever. The fact that she got off so easy is just sickening.
A Well paid lawyer at work. This is nuts...
She did look hot in those boots. Regardless, do you think she'll do it again? I don't think so. Do I want to pay for her to sit in jail for the next 15 years, no way. Surely her sentence was lighter than most but that doesn't mean it wasn't fair. It's probably truer to say that other similar first time offenders are treated too harshly.
"I think she should be thrown in jail and locked away forever."
yeah, that'll teach her! that's totally not an overreaction or anything!
Legalize it
Don't criticize it
selling pot? is that all? she should have gotten a fine at most.
she's a rich white girl from rumson. a slap on the wrist is the most she'd ever get.
Agreed Drunk.
But then she sold alot more then just weed.
She got off pretty light if you ask me...
She was probably in it for the rush of doing something illegal. She'll move on to other high risk behavior.
Betcha $100 you'll see this girl doing prostitution on some level. She clearly is seeking attention. I'd love to give her some.
The Washington Square News is independent from NYU. So NYU isn't "crowing" about anything.
"She was probably in it for the rush of doing something illegal. She'll move on to other high risk behavior."
she should try going to class if thats the case
