Prosecutors wanted “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Jennifer Shah to spend a decade in federal prison after leading a yearslong telemarketing scheme that scammed Americans nationwide, including many older individuals, officials said.
Now U.S. Attorney Judge Sidney Stein, of the Southern District of New York, has issued her a slightly lesser sentence of six-and-a-half years in federal prison on Jan. 6, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“Jennifer Shah finally faces the consequences of the many years she spent targeting vulnerable, elderly victims,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement. “These individuals were lured in by false promises of financial security, but in reality, Shah and her co-conspirators defrauded them out of their savings and left them with nothing to show for it.”
