DENVER—A woman who pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion for her purchase of a Denver business that authorities say was brothel has been sentenced to time served and two years of supervised release.
U.S. District Judge Marcia S. Krieger Monday sentenced Brenda Stewart to serve her first year in home detention with electronic monitoring. Stewart was indicted November 2010 on 70 counts of tax evasion, and other charges that included witness tampering.
Prosecutors had sought six months in prison, six months home detention followed by three years supervised release.
Former owner Scottie Ewing pleaded guilty last year to one count of federal tax evasion surrounding the 2005 sale of Denver Sugar/Denver Players to Stewart. He was fined $70,000 and sentenced to probation and home detention.
