News Flash: Hatch Sentenced (updated)

Tags: hatch

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP)
Richard Hatch, who won $1 million in the debut season of "Survivor," was sentenced Tuesday to 51 months in prison for failing to pay income taxes on his reality TV prize and other earnings.

Hatch, 45, was convicted in January. The charges carried a maximum of 13 years in prison.

U.S. District Judge Ernest Torres said he issued a harsher than expected sentence because Hatch had committed perjury repeatedly during his trial.

"It seems unfortunately very clear to me that Mr. Hatch lied," Torres said.

Update: several news organizations are reporting that Richard Hatch must also "undergo psychological counseling." Also his web site www.RichHatch.com has been inactive for at least several days now. What? No jailhouse blog from Hatch?
