MANHATTAN — The daughter of former mayor and presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani spent Friday scrubbing toilets at a Downtown sanitation garage.

Caroline Giuliani, 21, spent the day at the Sanitation Department's district 3 garage, at 257 South Street, as part of the community service she agreed to do in exchange for the dismissal of shoplifting charges, a source familiar with the arrangement said.

Giuliani, a Harvard senior, was caught swiping $100.50 worth of cosmetics from the Sephora at East 86th Street and Lexington Avenue on Aug. 4.

She was released, but ordered to appear in court on Aug. 31 when she agreed to perform community service in exchange for her the conditional dismissal of her case.

On Friday, the film student provided manual labor to the city her father governed for eight years.

Prosecutors said Giuliani was offered the same deal almost all first-time shoplifting offenders get.
