华女陈佳颖拉斯维加斯连环重婚诈骗案10月6日判刑：再服刑8个月、赔偿9名受害者28万美元
拉斯维加斯——内华达州克拉克县地方法院10月6日对华人女子陈佳颖（Jiaying Chen）连环重婚诈骗案作出量刑。陈佳颖现年33岁，是美国合法永久居民，化名「Vicky Liang」，今年7月已就一项重婚罪和一项以虚假借口获取钱财罪认罪。调查人员称，2019年至2024年间，她在克拉克县申请了14张结婚许可证、与7名男子登记结婚，仅过去一年就与5名男子结婚，以在华亲人病重等说法取得钱款后消失，款项被指用于赌博。
法官克里斯托·埃勒（Crystal Eller）判处陈佳颖在克拉克县拘留中心再服刑8个月，连同此前已羁押时间共约一年，其后接受两年缓刑，并向9名受害者赔偿共280,062.86美元，同时须接受赌博成瘾治疗。检方在庭上表示，主动求处缓刑的考量之一，是入州监狱服刑可能触发遣返、反而不利于受害者获得赔偿。陈佳颖出狱后获准迁居佛罗里达州。
Las Vegas Serial Bigamy Fraud: Jiaying Chen Sentenced Oct. 6 to Eight More Months and $280,062 in Restitution
LAS VEGAS — A Clark County district judge sentenced Jiaying Chen on October 6 in a serial bigamy and fraud case. Chen, 33, a U.S. lawful permanent resident who used the alias 'Vicky Liang,' pleaded guilty in July to one count of bigamy and one count of obtaining money under false pretenses. Investigators say that between 2019 and 2024 she applied for 14 marriage licenses in Clark County and married seven men — five in the past year alone — claiming family members in China were ill, taking money and disappearing; the proceeds were allegedly used for gambling.
Judge Crystal Eller sentenced Chen to eight additional months in the Clark County Detention Center, about a year in total with time served, followed by two years of probation. She must pay $280,062.86 in restitution to nine victims and undergo gambling-addiction treatment. Prosecutors told the court that one reason they sought probation was that a state prison term could trigger deportation and undermine restitution. Chen will be allowed to relocate to Florida after her release.
