TUCSON, Ariz. (KVOA) — Two people have been sentenced in a scholarship fraud scheme.
Attorney General Kris Mayes announced 21 year old Jadakah Johnson, and 20 year old Raymond Johnson Jr, of Phoenix, were each sentenced to three years of supervised probation. The Johnsons were also ordered to pay almost $200 thousand in restitution fees.
Mayes tells us the pair unlawfully received funds from the Empowerment Scholarship Account Program.
Neither Johnson was properly eligible to receive the funds and had reason to know the money was apart of a fraud scheme or theft.
On Jan. 17, both Johnsons pleaded guilty to facilitation to commit money laundering.
