Hatch's sentencing delayed until May 16
PROVIDENCE -- The sentencing for Survivor star Richard Hatch on his tax-evasion conviction has been delayed until Tuesday, May 16, it was announced today.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office said the sentencing will now take place at 10 a.m. that day before U.S. District Chief Judge Ernest C. Torres, at the U.S. District Court building here.
Hatch, of Newport, had been scheduled for sentencing on April 25. He was being held in protective custody at a Plymouth, Mass., jail.
Hatch won $1 million in the debut season of the CBS reality TV series. He was found guilty in January of failing to pay taxes on his winnings and other income.
The charges carry a maximum of 13 years in prison. Torres has said he expected a sentence of between two years, nine months and three years, five months, but it could be longer because prosecutors accuse Hatch of lying during his testimony.
