Ghanaian musician and socialite Hajia4Reall, born Mona Faiz Montrage, is set to face sentencing today, 28th June 2024, in a US court over internet fraud charges to which she has pleaded guilty.

The socialite's legal team has requested a three-month sentence, emphasising her role as a single mother and the imperative presence in her child's life. However, the US Attorney's Office has argued for the entire 37-month term, citing similar cases and stressing the need for a proper deterrent.

Hajia4Reall named her daughter's father, Loveman Allison, as the individual who introduced her to internet fraud. She recounted meeting Allison in 2015 in the United States, where she fell in love with him, only to discover his involvement in fraudulent activities later. According to Hajia4Reall, Allison introduced her to internet fraud, and she eventually became involved in his schemes.

Allison, who has been described as an irresponsible father, is at the centre of Hajia4Reall's plea for leniency. She highlighted the potential negative impact her absence could have on their daughter, arguing for a shorter sentence.

Hajia4Reall has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of money laundering conspiracy, and one count of money laundering. Additionally, she faces one count of receipt of stolen money, which carries a potential 10-year prison sentence, and conspiracy to receive stolen cash, carrying a five-year jail term.
