				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">YOU READ IT HERE FIRST:</span> </strong>A Morris County man who admitted using hidden cameras to record young girls in his home was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison today.</p>
<p><span id="more-93063"></span>Ronald Oshrin, a married insurance company project manager from Budd Lake, secretly recorded the girls as they took off their clothes, showered or used the bathroom in his house, then shared the videos and photos online.</p>
<p>Agents arrested Oshrin, 50, in April 2012 after he admitted downloading kiddie porn and distributing it through email and posts to file-sharing sites the past five years, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman said.</p>
<p>The FBI also took the rare step of publishing his mugshot, given the possibility that victims or others involved with him might be able to supply the government with information in their investigation.</p>
<p><strong>CLIFFVIEW PILOT</strong> published two photos of Oshrin with its original story: <a href="http://cliffviewpilot.com/do-you-know-this-man-fbi-says-he-secretly-taped-naked-girls-in-his-home/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">Morris man secretly taped naked girls in his house, FBI says</span></strong></span></a></p>
<p>The mugshot was issued soon after.</p>
<p>&#8220;[T]he FBI does not typically release photographs of persons in custody,&#8221; the bureau said in a release. &#8220;A rare exception is being made in this instance for the exclusive purpose of identifying potential victims who may be associated with this case.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oshrin, a computer programmer who consulted for General Dynamics, &#8220;installed video cameras in several locations throughout his home, particularly in a bathroom and bedroom,&#8221; according to the original complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office in federal court in Newark.</p>
<p>&#8220;When pre-pubescent girls were in the bathroom or bedroom, he would monitor the cameras and make video recordings of the girls as they were disrobing, using the shower or using the toilet,&#8221; it says.</p>
<p>&#8220;Because he installed multiple cameras in the bathroom, it allowed video production from various angles and allowed him to focus on specific areas of interest.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oshrin pulled still screenshots from the video for distribution, as well, the FBI said in an affidavit supporting the complaint.</p>
<p>The agents seized an encripted portable disc drive that included a six-minute video of a girl, about 12 to 15, undressing and showering &#8212; with closeups of her private areas, agents said.</p>
<p>Another video, about two minutes long, shows another naked girl standing in front of the hidden camera in the bathroom, the federal complaint says.</p>
<p>The FBI said it found Oshrin after he &#8220;posted photographs of clothed children on a known child pornography site with text statements indicating that [he] enjoyed masturbating to images of children and producing videos of pre-pubescent girls.&#8221;</p>
<p>Oshrin attended George Washington and Susquehanna universities after being graduated from the Delbarton School 21 years ago.</p>
<p>Fishman credited special agents of the FBI Newark Division’s Cyber Crime Task Force for the investigation and plea, secured by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer, Chief of the General Crimes Unit, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth M. Harris of the U.S. Attorney’s Office General Crimes Unit in Newark.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">YOU READ IT HERE FIRST:</span> </strong>Federal agents arrested a Megan&#8217;s Law offender from Totowa early this morning on charges of possessing child pornography that could send him to prison for at least 10 years.</p>
<p><span id="more-92855"></span>Anthony Chiampi, 48, was subject to community supervision for life when, on March 14, state parole officeres found 63 disks of images and videos depicting child sexual abuse, including material that involved prepubescent minors, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman said this morning.</p>
<p>Because of his prior conviction, Chiampi faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison, among other penalties, Fishman said.</p>
<p>He was due to go before a federal magistrate judge in Newark this afternoon on a complaint charging him with possessing images of child sex abuse.</p>
<p>Fishman credited the N.J. State Parole Board and special agents of the FBI Newark Division’s Child Exploitation Task Force with the investigation leading to today&#8217;s arrest.</p>
<p>The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle M. Corcione of the U.S. Attorney’s Office General Crimes Unit in Newark.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">YOU READ IT HERE FIRST:</span> </strong>New Jersey State Police twice went to the same house to arrest a mother and son in separate incidents that began on or near the Garden State Parkway involving the same car.</p>
<p><span id="more-92758"></span>The first occurred in Saddle Brook at the Parkway entrance ramp on Saturday when a motorist told police a man in another vehicle pointed a handgun at him and his family following some type of dispute, NJSP Sgt. Adam Grossman told<strong> CLIFFVIEW PILOT</strong> this morning.</p>
<p>Troopers from the Bloomfield barracks went to the other man&#8217;s Newark home and found the Nissan Altima out front, Grossman said.</p>
<p>They also learned that its driver, 27-year-old Parrish Troy Foster-Evans, is a security guard who was, in fact, carrying his gun, the sergeant said.</p>
<p>Displaying it as he is charged with doing is a criminal offense, so Foster-Evans was taken into custody and charged with illegal possession of a weapon and aggravated assault.</p>
<p>He was held for two days in the Bergen County Jail before posting $50,000 bail yesterday, records show.</p>
<p>In an odd twist, troopers and detectives from the Bloomfield barracks returned to the home to arrest Foster-Evans&#8217; mother, Krista Evans, 42, after she refused to stop for a trooper trying to pull her over on the Parkway for talking on her cellphone while driving the same Altima yesterday, Grossman said.</p>
<p>Trooper Louis Rossos got the plate number and make and model of the vehicle and broke off the pursuit at Exit 140A, the sergeant said.</p>
<p>Detectives at the barracks immediately recognized the vehicle and returned to the family home, he said.</p>
<p>It turns out Krista Evans also had more than $5,000 worth of warrants for her arrest out of Essex County, Grossman said.</p>
<p>She was being held on $50,000 bail in the Essex County Jail.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">NEWSBREAK:</span> </strong>Lauryn Hill was sentenced today to three months in prison and three months of home confinement with electronic monitoring for not reporting more than $2.3 million in income by intentionally failing to file tax returns for five years.</p>
<p><span id="more-92725"></span>U.S. Magistrate Judge Madeline Cox Arleo two weeks ago set a deadline for today for Hill to come up with $514,000 that she still owed the government. Her attorney, Nathan Hochman, said she paid her debt, along with fines, interest and restitution totaling nearly $970,000.</p>
<p>However, the government put her tax liability at more than $1 million.</p>
<p>The 37-year-old Grammy winner &#8212; who on Friday released a new single, &#8220;Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)&#8221; &#8212; had paid roughly $50,000 when Arleo set the deadline two weeks ago.</p>
<p>Hilll told Arleo she always intended to make good pay couldn&#8217;t during a stretch when she dropped out of the music business.</p>
<p>&#8220;I needed to be able to earn so I could pay my taxes, without compromising the health and welfare of my children, and I was being denied that,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>It echoed a previous post she&#8217;d made to her fans:</p>
<p>&#8220;I did whatever needed to be done in order to insulate my family from the climate of hostility, false entitlement, manipulation, racial prejudice, sexism and ageism that I was surrounded by&#8230;. There were no exotic trips, no fleet of cars, just an all out war for safety, integrity, wholeness and health, without mistreatment, denial, and/or exploitation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The former Fugees singer, who was sued for eviction earlier this year by the owner of the South Orange mansion where she lives with her mother and childen, accepted a plea bargain and admitted evading taxes last June in U.S. District Court in Newark.</p>
<p>Although the conviction technically carries from 30 to 36 months in federal prison, Hill needed only pay up &#8212; including interest, penalties and court costs — by the end of last November.</p>
<p>When that didn&#8217;t happen, Arleo set the new deadline and asked for additional documentation about Hill&#8217;s finances.</p>
<p>Preparing for today&#8217;s proceeding she released a new single &#8212; her first in three years.</p>
<p>&#8220;Here is a link to a piece that I was &#8216;required&#8217; to release immediately, by virtue of the impending legal deadline,&#8221; Hill wrote in a post about her new song. &#8220;I love being able to reach people directly, but in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music . . . but the message is still there.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added that she&#8217;d signed a recording contract with Sony that she believes will produce the income she needs to square her accounts.</p>
<p><strong>Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix):</strong></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jBBxFKCAaCo" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Hill first came to audience’s attention with the Fugees. Then, in 1998, she released the blockbuster solo album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” which earned five Grammy Awards, including the prestigious Album of the Year and Best New Artist.</p>
<p>But she turned away from public performing. After four years out of the spotlight, she did an MTV “Unplugged” gig that produced the live album “No. 2.0.”</p>
<p>Hill has done soundtrack recordings and mixtapes, while performing here and there at festivals, in recent years. &#8220;Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)&#8221; was her first single in three years.</p>
<p>Hill’s net worth has been reported at more than $8.7 million from her record sales, tours and investments in Jamaica. Her primary source of income, federal prosecutors in Newark said, are royalties from the recording and film industries.</p>
<p>U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman credited special agents with IRS-Criminal Investigation with the work leading to the charges. The case is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra L. Moser of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Special Prosecutions Division in Newark.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over a months-long battle to regain custody of their children, Army Major John Jackson and his wife, Carolyn, accused DYFS of prejudice against their religion and home schooling. Today, both are in U.S. District Court in Newark after federal authorities charged them with breaking the youngsters&#8217; bones, denying them medical attention, withholding water, and force-feeding them hot sauce, among other horrific acts.</p>
<p><span id="more-92571"></span><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">UPDATE:</span> A federal judge this afternoon released the Jacksons on $250,000 bail each.</strong></p>
<p>DYFS took the children away in April 2010, two years after a 2-year-old son died of a seizure and was cremated. The couple served as foster parents to several medically at-risk children while living in Oklahoma and adopted the boy, who was born with birth defects and a drug addiction.</p>
<p>A two-year-old girl later on was brought to Morristown Memorial Hospital, where authorities determined she&#8217;d suffered &#8220;medical neglect, malnourishment and salt poisoning,&#8221; as well as evidence of what once had been a fractured wrist.</p>
<p>Three natural children and two adopted ones were soon taken away.</p>
<p>The Jacksons accused the DYFS of &#8220;kidnapping&#8221; the youngsters, holding them hostage and brainwashing them without allowing an independent assessment by U.S. Army investigators or the ability for the purportedly devoute Christian family to pray together.</p>
<p>Although evidence existed to exonerate them, the couple claimed, DYFS ignored it &#8212; for no other reason, they said, than to make money for putting the children in foster care.</p>
<p>As a result, they said, the children are being turned against God &#8212; and against them.</p>
<p>Federal agents see things much differently.</p>
<p>They arrested Carolyn Jackson at her Mount Holly home on Tuesday after a federal grand jury returned a 17-count indictment against her and her husband, who surrendered this morning.</p>
<p>A bail hearing for the couple was being held today in U.S. District Court in Newark.</p>
<p>All told, Carolyn Jackson, 35 and 37-year-old John E. Jackson, formerly of the Picatinny Arsenal in Morris County, are charged with one count of conspiracy to endanger the welfare of a child, 13 counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and three counts of assault.</p>
<p>Because the children were believed abused on the base, the case falls under federal jurisdiction.</p>
<p>“Carolyn and John Jackson are charged with unimaginable cruelty to children they were trusted to protect,” U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman said. “The crimes alleged should not happen to any child, anywhere, and it is deeply disturbing that they would happen on a military installation.</p>
<p>According to the indictment, on file in U.S. District Court in Newark, the abuse continued for five years before DYFS intervened.</p>
<p>In that time, it says, the Jacksons &#8220;told their three biological children not to report the physical assaults to others, saying that the punishments and disciplinary techniques were justified, as they were &#8216;training&#8217; the adopted children how to behave.</p>
<p>&#8220;After John Jackson was informed by a family friend that one of the children had revealed the abuse in the Jackson household, John Jackson reported the breach to Carolyn Jackson, who retaliated against that child with multiple beatings with a belt.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Jacksons physically assaulted their children with various objects, causing two children to sustain fractured bones for which the Jacksons failed to seek prompt medical attention,&#8221; the government alleges.</p>
<p>&#8220;They also withheld proper medical care for their adopted children, withheld sufficient nourishment and food for two of their children, withheld adequate water from two of their children, and, at times, prohibited them from drinking water altogether.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Jacksons even punished an adopted child they caught sneaking food or water and required one of their biological children to prevent that child from drinking out of sinks and toilets.</p>
<p>&#8220;As another form of punishment, Carolyn and John Jackson forced two of the children to consume food intended to cause them pain and suffering, variously including red pepper flakes, hot sauce, and raw onion,&#8221; federal authorities say in the indictment. &#8220;They also caused one child to ingest excessive sodium or sodium-laden substances while being deprived of water, leading to a life-threatening condition.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fishman credited special agents of the FBI with the investigation leading to the arrests, and thanked thanked the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command and the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office.</p>
<p>The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Melissa L. Jampol and Elizabeth M. Harris of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Criminal Division in Newark.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The man who gunned down off-duty Newark Police Detective Michael Morgan Jr. in cold blood on a Paterson street pleaded guilty to killing him today, for which he will be sentenced to no fewer than 33 years in state prison.</p>
<p><span id="more-92521"></span>In a Passaic County courtroom filled with Newark officers and Morgan&#8217;s loved ones, Jerome Wright officially pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and two counts of robbery this afternoon.</p>
<p>He could have gone to prison for life without any chance for parole if he&#8217;d been convicted at a trial for felony murder.</p>
<p>Under terms of his plea with prosecutors, Wright admitted that he recklessly &#8212; but unintentionally &#8212; killed Morgan while trying to rob him and a woman he&#8217;d been out with the night of Nov. 7, 2011.</p>
<p>Morgan died trying to protect his companion.</p>
<p>Wright claimed he fired when the officer tried to take the gun from him.</p>
<p>An accomplice, Wright&#8217;s 20-year-old girlfriend Nashali Gadson, also admitted her participation in what was a holdup spree that fateful night that ended with Morgan&#8217;s death.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">ONLY ON CVP:</span> </span></strong>A state corrections officer was badly beaten by a group of residents at the state&#8217;s prison for sex offenders in Avenel &#8212; the second attack on an officer at a state Corrections facility in less than two weeks.</p>
<p><span id="more-92480"></span>The incident comes amid protests by state corrections officers about staffing cuts at certain high-security facilities, and follows an incident in which an officer was slashed earlier this month at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Wrightstown.</p>
<p>Last week, two inmates were indicted by a state grand jury on charges of assaulting a pair of corrections officers, sending both to the hospital, at the Mountainview Correctional Facility in Clinton Township in November 2011.</p>
<p>In this weekend&#8217;s incident, Officer Marcyves Maurice, an 11-year department veteran, was rescued by fellow officers after he was set upon by several offenders at the Avenel Diagnostic and Treatment Center.</p>
<p>&#8220;This was a planned multiple resident assault on Officer Maurice by a group of civilly committed sexual predators,&#8221; a colleague told <strong>CLIFFVIEW PILOT</strong>, speaking on condition of anonymity.</p>
<p>The colleague said such attacks are the direct result of &#8220;collapsible posts&#8221; at ADTC, which he said went into effect in January and leave certain areas below the minimum number of officers required for safe security.</p>
<p>A state Department of Corrections spokesman confirmed that the incident occurred at 9 p.m. Sunday.</p>
<p>Maurice (<strong>inset, above</strong>), who wasn&#8217;t identified by name, &#8220;ended up going to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Rahway,&#8221; Matt Schuman, the spokesman, told <strong>CLIFFVIEW PILOT</strong> this morning.</p>
<p>He has since been discharged, Schuman said.</p>
<p>Schuman said he couldn&#8217;t go into detail about the incident, or about the officers&#8217; staffing concerns, because an investigation was under way.</p>
<p>He said he couldn&#8217;t immediately identify the officer or the residents involved, adding that officials &#8220;aren&#8217;t going to say much until the investigation is completed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Roughly 60 officers had a &#8220;blue out,&#8221; calling out sick on April 20, over what they said are dangerous staff reductions at basic posts, in addition to cuts in overtime.</p>
<p>The 36-year-old Maurice &#8212; a large, imposing presence and popular among colleagues &#8212; began his DOC career at Mountainview before being transferred to ADTC.</p>
<p>Operated jointly by the New Jersey Department of Corrections and the Department of Human Services, ADTC houses roughly 700 offenders who have been committed there &#8212; either after they&#8217;ve served prison sentences or instead of &#8212; for rape and other sexual assaults on adults and children.</p>
<p>The objective is to provide treatment, education and vocational studies, with the possibility of reintegrating them into society at some point.</p>
<p>Some have their commitments renewed by judges and either die or spend dozens of years in state custody there.</p>
<p>Although security is high, they are referred to as &#8220;residents&#8221; and not inmates.</p>
<p>The DOC handles security and the Department of Human Services supervises treatment services.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">BEYOND BERGEN:</span> </strong>DNA evidnce has lead to a new charge against a New Jersey State correction officer accused of identifying himself as a police officer in order to coerce prostitutes into having free sex with him.</p>
<p><span id="more-92332"></span>Juan R. Stevens surrendered to authorities today &#8212; the first time a hit from a New Jersey database of all persons arrested for violent crimes produced charges against one. He remained free on $200,000 after being processed, they said.</p>
<p>Stevens, 50, had been entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) under New Jersey’s new law &#8212; which took effect Feb. 1 &#8212; requiring DNA sampling of all persons arrested for violent crimes, including sexual assault, following his previous arrest last month.</p>
<p>“This DNA hit, which enabled us to solve an open case, highlights the importance of our new law mandating testing of those arrested for violent crimes,”state Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa said.</p>
<p>“Experience teaches us that violent criminals, including sex offenders, often commit multiple crimes, as this defendant allegedly did,&#8221; Chiesa added. &#8220;The new law will help us lock up repeat offenders and protect the public.”</p>
<p>Authorities last month said Stevens called prostitutes who offered their services only and met them at hotels in South Jersey and Philadelphia,.</p>
<p>After using the name &#8220;Rick&#8221; or Rich&#8221;to get sex, Stevens &#8220;produced what appeared to be a law enforcement badge &#8230; so the women feared they would be arrested,&#8221; , Chiesa said, adding that he &#8220;sometimes wore handcuffs hooked to the back of his pants,&#8221; as well.<a href="http://cliffviewpilot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/stevens1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-90550" alt="stevens1" src="http://cliffviewpilot.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/stevens1.jpg" width="231" height="289" /></a></p>
<p>Stevens got off without paying at least four of them &#8212; and, in one instance, got a discount, he said.</p>
<p>“Threats of arrest for personal gain – whether by an impostor, or an actual police officer – undermine the work of all law enforcement,&#8221; said New Jersey State Police Superintendent Col. Rick Fuentes, whose department made the match.</p>
<p>Stevens, who remains suspended from his job at the Department of Correction’s Central Reception and Assignment Facility in Trenton, was charged that day with second-degree sexual assault and third-degree criminal restraint.</p>
<p>In both instances, the charges stem from work by the NJSP Official Corruption Bureau South Unit and the Division of Criminal Justice Corruption Bureau.</p>
<p>Authorities became aware of what was happening a little over two months ago, Chiesa said: In that case, Stevens met a hooker at a hotel, agreed to pay $125 for 30 minutes of sex, then flashed the phony badge and barked &#8220;stand down&#8221; into a cellphone as if he were communicating, walkie-talkie-style, authorities said.</p>
<p>He then &#8220;began to fondle the woman, who believed she was about to be arrested, telling her they could work it out,&#8221; Chiesa alleged.</p>
<p>Intercourse followed, Stevens left without paying &#8212; and the woman went straight to local police, the attorney general said.</p>
<p>State investigators said they then uncovered a string of similar incidents dating back to September 2011.</p>
<p>In one case, Stevens telephoned an “adult escort” and offered $300 for her to meet him at a motel in Maple Shade for sex, Chiesa said. After demanding to see the woman&#8217;s identification, he coerced her into sex under fear of arrest &#8212; he added. Aware that he now had her address, she agreed to meet him twice more &#8212; including in early February.</p>
<p>Stevens &#8220;wore handcuffs on the back of his pants on all three of those occasions,&#8221; Chiesa said.</p>
<p>The cut rate came last July, he said: Stevens at first agreed to pay $160 but then &#8220;claimed to be a police officer and demanded a discounted price. The woman allegedly had sex with him, fearing arrest, and he allegedly paid her $100.&#8221;</p>
<p>The latest charge stems from a May 23, 2011 incident that Chiesa said occurred at a motel in Mansfield in Burlington County.</p>
<p>Stevens went to the room &#8220;wearing a blue uniform, which appeared to have handcuffs hanging from the back of the pants, and stated that he was a police officer who was sent to talk to her about prostitution and drug activity at the motel,&#8221; Chiesa said.</p>
<p>Once inside, he &#8220;displayed a police-type badge and ordered her to take her clothes off,&#8221; the attorney general said. &#8220;The victim allegedly told him she would rather be arrested than have sex with him.</p>
<p>&#8220;However, Stevens allegedly took his own clothes off, lay on the bed, and again demanded that she undress,&#8221; then &#8220;pulled her onto the bed,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Afraid she&#8217;d be harmed, she engaged in sex, Chiesa said.</p>
<p>Stevens then &#8220;threw $15 at her and left the motel,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The woman notified police and was taken to an area hospital, where DNA evidence was taken. State Police recently turned up the match, Chiesa said.</p>
<p>“This DNA match brings new evidence that the defendant was a serial sex offender who allegedly preyed on women by identifying himself as a police officer and coercing them into sexual acts,” said Director Elie Honig of the Division of Criminal Justice. “We urge any victims to contact us.”</p>
<p>The number: <strong>1-866-TIPS-4CJ</strong></p>
<p>Futnes said the New Jersey&#8217;s hihgly successful CODIS database contains DNA profiles from more than 250,000 convicted offenders and more than  16,500 DNA profiles from crime scene evidence.</p>
<p>So far, it has generated more than 7,200 hits solving crimes that would not have been possible without DNA technology, he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;The recent offender law will enhance the power of CODIS by solving additional crimes following arrests instead of after convictions,&#8221; Chiesa added.</p>
<p>According to the Office of the NJ Attorney General: Detective Erick Goncalves and Detective Anthony Carugno led the investigation for the New Jersey State Police Official Corruption Bureau South Unit. Deputy Attorney General Victor R. Salgado is handling the investigation and prosecuting the case for the Division of Criminal Justice Corruption Bureau. The investigation was conducted with assistance from the Department of Corrections Special Investigations Division and the Westampton Police Department.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">YOU READ IT HERE FIRST:</span> </strong>A federal judge in Newark today postponed sentencing Lauryn Hill for ducking three years of income tax returns on more than $1.6 million of income to May 6.</p>
<p><span id="more-92160"></span>The 37-year-old Grammy winner &#8212; who was sued for eviction earlier this year by the owner of the South Orange mansion where she lives with her mother and childen &#8212; accepted a plea bargain and admitted evading taxes late last June in U.S. District Court in Newark.</p>
<p>Although the conviction technically carries up to a year in prison, Hill needed only to make good with the IRS &#8212; including interest, penalties and court costs &#8212; by the end of last November.</p>
<p>That covered calendar years 2005, when she admitted that she didn’t pay taxes for she made a reported $818,000, in 2006 ($222,000) or  in 2007 ($761,000).</p>
<p>The judge today requested additional information before the sentencing.</p>
<p>Hill’s net worth has been reported at more than $8.7 million from her record sales, tours and investments in Jamaica. Her primary source of income, federal prosecutors in Newark said, are royalties from the recording and film industries.</p>
<p>Hill first came to audience’s attention with the Fugees. Then, in 1998, she released the blockbuster solo album “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” which earned five Grammy Awards, including the prestigious Album of the Year and Best New Artist.</p>
<p>But fame turned her away from public performing. After four years out of the spotlight, she did an MTV “Unplugged” gig that produced the live album “No. 2.0.”</p>
<p>Hill has done soundtrack recordings and mixtapes, while performing here and there at festivals, in recent years.</p>
<p>U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman credited special agents with IRS-Criminal Investigation with the work leading to the charges. The case is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra L. Moser of the U.S. Attorney’s Office Special Prosecutions Division in Newark.</p>
