Fake heiress Sorokin escorted to jail after being sentenced

Video Description

Fake German heiress Anna Sorokin has been sentenced to four to 12 years in prison for swindling tens of thousands of dollars from banks and hotels that she used to bankroll her lavish New York lifestyle. The 28-year-old con artist was sentenced in a Manhattan court on Thursday following her conviction last month on multiple counts of grand larceny and theft of services. 'I apologize for the mistakes I made,' Sorokin said just moment before her sentence was handed down. Judge Diane Kiesel said during the sentencing that she was 'stunned by the depth of the defendant's deception'. In addition to the prison sentence, Sorokin was ordered to pay nearly $199,000 in restitution and $24,000 in fines. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has said it will seek to deport Sorokin to Germany following her release from state custody because she overstayed her 2017 visa. Sorokin has been in custody at Rikers Island since her October 2017 arrest and was facing 15 years in prison. Her grifting ruse between 2016 and 2017 included forging her identity as a wealthy German heiress known as Anna Delvey and falsifying bank records to further her scam.
