Sergojan pleaded guilty to nine felony charges in connection with three real estate fraud scams. The charges included on multiple counts of grand theft, identity theft and forgery for her involvement in real estate schemes that included her paying back two identity theft victims with funds from another scam, according to officials.

In October 2003, Sergojan pleaded guilty to four felonies for her role in the identity theft of two Los Angeles residents. She committed that crime, according to law enforcement official, while working as a Los Angeles County deputy district attorney and is order to obtain funds to purchase a $500,000 home in Westlake Village, California. She received probation after making full restitution to the victims and lost her license to practice law in California in 2004.

In 2004, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department discovered that Sergojan had repaid the victims with money she obtained by stealing her estranged husband’s identity and using it to obtain a $200,000 loan, according to authorities. While investigating the incident, detectives found that in 2002, Sergojan had financed the purchase of her Westlake Village home by forging pay stubs and other documents misrepresenting her income and that Sergojan had forged documents that caused her bank to clear $10,000 in false checks in order to pay a delinquent mortgage payment, according to authorities.
