UPDATE
8:51 AM PT — Jen Shah was simply sentenced to 6.5 years behind bars along with 5 years monitored release. She got psychological in court, sobbing, and informing everybody she was deeply sorry for what she had actually done … stating, “with the proper medication I can now see what happened.”
“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star, Jen Shah, is in federal court excitedly awaiting her penalty for devoting wire fraud — and, as ya may anticipate, she’s dressed to the nines for her wedding day.
Jen appeared at the court house in New York City using a cheetah print get-up … so, the judge will not have any problem identifying the offender.
As we reported, Jen was jailed back in 2021 for targeting and scamming folks out of their cash with a supposed telemarketing plan … she at first pled innocent, with her attorney stating she was “totally innocent.”
That all altered in July, when she pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to dedicate wire fraud in connection with telemarketing … and as part of her offer, district attorneys dropped one count of conspiracy to dedicate cash laundering.
The offer required a sentence of up to 14 years in prison, and potentially being on the hook for around $9 mil in restitution to victims of the fraud. Jen herself has actually requested 3 years.
According to legal docs, gotten by TMZ, the feds were gunning for a 10-year sentence versus the truth star in December … providing a shopping list of reasons she’s the “most culpable person charged in this case.”
The sentencing is taking place today … remain tuned for updates.
