As reported by NBC News, the Justice Department believed Jen Shah deserved 10 years in prison for her telemarketing scheme that reportedly targeted the elderly. “At the defendant’s direction, victims were defrauded over and over again until they had nothing left. She and her co-conspirators persisted in their conduct until the victims’ bank accounts were empty, their credit cards were at their limits, and there was nothing more to take,” the U.S. Attorney New York’s Southern District wrote.
A month before her sentencing, Jen Shah asked the judge to reduce her 11 to 14 year sentence to only three years, per CNN. “The terrible business decisions I made and professional relationships I developed stemmed from some personal painful experiences that I was going through in my life,” Shah wrote in a letter to the judge. She also submitted letters from family and friends in support of her case, although there were none from any of her fellow “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” cast members.

With Shah’s six years ahead of her in prison, it’s uncertain what her future looks like. However, Shah confirmed to the judge during her sentencing hearing she presently remains a part of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” cast, per Inner City Press.
