RHOSLC star Jen Shah’s sentencing has been pushed to 2023, reports indicate.
According to documents obtained by Page Six, an attorney for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City standout made the request in court and it was approved.
On Wednesday (November 23), Priya Chaudhry, who is Shah’s attorney, filed the request and it was approved shortly after by Judge Sidney H. Stein. Her sentencing is now set for January 6, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. ET.
While Chaudhry did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment, Jen Shah’s sentencing date has been moved quite a few times. The RHOSLC star was originally set to be sentenced on November 18 but it was pushed to December 15 after U.S. attorney Damian Williams requested the change due to a “scheduling conflict on the part of several members of the Government team.”
Facing up to 14 years in prison
As previously reported, Jen Shah has pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges and faces up to 14 years in prison.
According to NBC News Connecticut, Shah plead guilty on July 11, 2022 to the charges ahead of her looming trial, which was supposed to start on July 18, 2022. In addition to facing up to 14 years in prison, reports state that the reality star will also face millions of dollars in possible fines and restitution.
The New York Police Department, who investigated the fraud claims against Jen, believes that she had “hundreds” of victims and that the alleged telemarketing scam ran for at least 9 years, starting in 2012 and leading to her arrest in March 2021.
As RHOSLC fans are well aware, Jen Shah’s sentencing was discussed on recent episodes with some of her co-stars celebrating the delay in her trial date. Whitney Rose, however, was the only one to point out that because the delays were on the part of the prosecution (like the change in sentencing dates now), that it could actually be a bad thing for Jen. Only time will tell.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Wednesdays on Bravo.
