The senator, Shirley L. Huntley, was accused of conspiring to help a niece and an aide steal money that the nonprofit agency was supposed to use to help poor parents navigate the New York City school system.

Ms. Huntley, 74, handcuffed behind her back, was led out of a building at the Nassau County court complex in Mineola on Monday, joining a parade of Albany lawmakers who have been accused of abusing their office for personal gain. She and her co-defendants pleaded not guilty on Monday.
