NEW YORK - A German woman who posed as a wealthy heiress to scam New York hotels, fashionable friends and banks with a blizzard of forged documents was sentenced to four to 12 years in prison on Thursday after a jury convicted her of fraud last month.
Before giving nearly the maximum possible sentence, Judge Diane Kiesel, of New York state Supreme Court, rebuked Sorokin as “blinded by the glitter and glamor of New York City.” Sorokin has already spent more than 500 days in jail. She appeared in court in handcuffs wearing a black dress, black shoes and glasses with thick black frames.
Sorokin, who was born in Russia before moving with her family to Germany as a teenager, spoke only to say she wanted “to apologize for the mistakes I made.” A jury found her guilty on four counts of grand larceny and four counts of theft of services last month.
