Shah sentenced to 6.5 years in prison

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jennifer Shah has copped a six and a half years (78 months) prison sentence.

Hollywood life reports the 49-year-old was involved in a telemarketing scam that defrauded hundreds of mostly senior citizens out of millions of dollars.

United States District Court for the Southern District of New York  Judge Sidney Stein handed down the decision detailing that Shah is also facing five years of supervised release.

Her husband Sharrieff Shah who is a lawyer and an American football coach and their sons, Sharrieff Junior and Omar Shah were also present at the courthouse for the sentencing.

Her lawyer, Priya Chaudhry said Shah deeply regrets the mistakes that she has made and is profoundly sorry to the people she has hurt.

Shah pleaded guilty to her involvement in the scheme in July 2022 but she originally pleaded not guilty after being arrested in March 2021 and charged with fraud, as well as her former assistant, Stuart Smith.

However, Stuart ended up turning on Jen and withdrew his guilty plea in Nov. 2021.
