Man Gets 18 Months in Gay Immigration Fraud

A man accused of advising immigrants to say they had been persecuted for homosexuality in their home country when applying for asylum has been sentenced to eighteen months in prison. Steven Mahoney, of Washington, advertised as an expert in immigration affairs, and ran Mahoney and Associates in Kent, Washington.

His company advised immigrants on how to stay in the United States. He pled guilty in April, saying between 1998 and 2007 he filed almost one hundred false immigration documents and was paid between one and four thousand dollars for each. He also told some immigrants to claim they had been tortured due to their religious and political views.
