The Situation was sentenced for evading taxes from 2014 and 2017. The maximum sentence he faced was five years in prison.
"We're disappointed," Mike's lawyer said. "We hoped for probation. But the judge gave her reasons. It's a sad day. Mike Sorrentino righted his life. That progress has been interrupted. But this doesn't set him back. We asked the court to allow him to surrender in 30 to 60 days. He is expected to get less than eight months in prison."
