During Shah's sentencing, prosecutors revealed the 'RHOSLC' star "victimized at least 10 people but presumably more all over the age of 55, a vulnerable peer group in society."

Before her official sentencing, it was believed there was a possibility of Shah receiving up to three decades, and federal prosecutors were allegedly hoping Shah would receive at least a decade behind bars.

The judge told the courtroom he was prosecuting "the person who harmed all [of] these victims," and not the character portrayal of Shah that Bravo viewers see on television week after week.

The judge would mention Shah's role on the show as "simply a character. It's acting," he would say, referring to the "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" in the same way.

Shah agreed to pay restitution up to $9.5 million as part of her plea. She would also say "With the proper medication, I can now see what happened." (per The Blast)

Before her sentencing, Shah's husband, Sharrief Shah Sr., would write a letter to the judge in a last-ditch effort in hopes his wife would receive "a lighter sentence."

"Jen has never been arrested or detained for any crime," Mr. Shah wrote, "My wife's current legal predicament was caused by a confluence of events that came together at various points, which caused her to spiral out of control," he alleged, per our report about his letter.

He attributed his absence as being the reason for failing to see the extent of his wife's alleged suffering.

"Because of my absence," Mr, Shah continued in the letter, "I was not able to see how badly my wife was suffering. As I think about it now, I saw her spending more time in our bedroom alone. She often fell asleep in our children's bed waiting for me to come home. She would constantly tell me that she feels so alone."
