Shrewsbury Woman Pleads Guilty To Perjury

SHREWSBURY, MA — A Shrewsbury woman pleaded guilty to lying about her role with a Worcester-based employment agency while testifying before a federal grand jury.

The woman, Linda Le, 42, pleaded guilty to one count of falsely testifying before a grand jury.

According to the Department of Justice, in late 2017 and early 2018, Le helped move several client companies from one employment agency to UT Services, a Worcester-based employment agency. After, Le performed various tasks on behalf of UT Services, including reviewing and analyzing client invoices and maintaining a spreadsheet that tracked invoice amounts and profit, according to the DOJ. Le was paid in cash in exchange for her work for UT Services.

Le lied twice under oath, according to the DOJ, once in May 2018 and once in March 2019.

The charge of lying to a grand jury provides for a sentence of up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of $250,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
