According to People Todd and Julie Chrisley have been sentenced in their bank fraud and tax evasion case.
A federal judge sentenced the Chrisley Knows Best stars on Monday, with Todd receiving 12 years in prison and 16 months probation while Julie received seven years in prison, plus 16 months probation, according to Insider and Fox 5 Atlanta.
Prior to sentencing, Todd and Julie asked for leniency.
In a statement, Todd said his wife — who is the caregiver for their son Grayson, 16, and granddaughter Chloe, 10 — “should not be punished” to the same extent, according to Insider.
Julie was emotional as she described a conversation with Chloe, who is the daughter of their estranged son Kyle.
She shared, “To hear your 10-year-old say she doesn’t want to live if their mom goes away, no child should feel that way,” per the outlet.
The Chrisley’s former accountant, Peter Tarantino, was also sentenced to 36 months in prison on Monday, per Insider.
Tarantino — who was convicted in June for his involvement in the couple’s fraud scheme — is set to report to prison on May 1, 2023, after undergoing hip surgery, per the outlet.
The couple’s sentencing was delayed from Oct. 6 to Nov. 21 after their lawyer claimed a witness “lied” on the stand, according to a document obtained by PEOPLE.
Todd Chrisley sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for tax evasion, his wife gets seven. How many years has he been on tv pretending to be a Christian? He’s a career swindler, he got what he deserved.
