Husband of Jen Shah begs judge for compassion in fraud sentencing

Sharrieff Shah Sr., the husband of Jen Shah, is begging for compassion in his wife’s imminent sentencing for fraud on January 6.

The 51-year-old told the judge that the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star has “real sorrow” for her acts, for which she faces up to 14 years in prison.

“Jen has never been detained or arrested for a crime. “My wife’s current legal issue is the result of a confluence of events that occurred at different times and caused her to spiral out of control,” the letter stated in the documents obtained by Page Six.

The college football coach continued by stating that the pair’s rocky relationship caused her to “make catastrophically poor business decisions and form relationships with nasty individuals.”

Sharrieff Shah Sr. pleaded for leniency with regard to his wife Jen Shah’s prison sentence.

In actuality, the former attorney placed the most of the blame on himself, alleging that his continual travel and absence from home contributed to his wife’s bad decision-making.

“Because of my absence, I was unable to observe my wife’s severe suffering. Upon reflection, I recall her spending more time in our bedroom alone. She frequently fell asleep in our children’s bed while awaiting my return. She would tell me again that she feels so alone.”

During the same time period that she allegedly ran a $5 million telemarketing scheme aimed exclusively at the elderly, she also lost her father, grandmother, and grandfather, according to the source.

Sharrieff asserts that the reality star, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to conduct wire fraud in July, has already “taken the first significant step toward making things right by accepting her own culpability and responsibility.”

This plea comes less than a week after the 49-year-old defendant asked for a reduced prison term of only three years.

Shah’s attorney, Priya Chaudhry, wrote in a sentencing submission, “We submit that such a sentence is just and fair because it takes into account Ms. Shah’s history and characteristics, the facts and circumstances of the offense, and the requirement that a court impose a sentence that is ‘not greater than necessary’ to achieve the goals of punishment.”

They also noted that the lawsuit has already caused her husband and kids Sharrieff Shah Jr., 28, and Omar, 19, “embarrassment, anxiety, and disgrace.”

“She is aware of the emotional and psychological price that her sons have already paid.” She will spend the rest of her life atoning for these wrongs.

In addition to her time served in prison, Shah was ordered to pay up to $9.5 million in reparations.
