July 06, 2009|By Veronica Rocha

PASADENA — A 49-year-old South Pasadena woman was sentenced to three years in prison for defrauding five Glendale residents who tried obtain residency status for themselves and their family.

Pasadena Superior Court Judge Janice Croft also ordered Aileen Sevajian to pay $62,800 in restitution to the victims, who paid her to help gain residency in the United States.

Sevajian was convicted June 26 on seven counts -- six of which were felony grand theft charges -- and a misdemeanor count of posing as an immigration consultant.
