UPDATED, 3:32 PM: Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of USA Network’s hit reality series Chrisley Knows Best, have been sentenced to a combined total of 19 years in prison.

Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years plays 16 months probation and wife Julie sentenced to 7 years in prison plus 16 months probation.

Their accountant, Peter Tarantino, was earlier today sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty of filing two false corporate tax returns on behalf of the Chrisley’s company.

He will start his sentence next May after recovering from hip surgery. Todd Chrisley got a lighter sentence than expected with guidelines suggesting he could get up to 22 years in prison and his wife Julie Chrisley could have been sentenced to around 12 and a half years after being found guilty in June of conspiring to defraud community banks out of more than $30 million of fraudulent loans, as well as a number of tax crimes, including conspiring to defraud the IRS, tax evasion, while Julie Chrisley was found guilty of wire fraud and obstruction of justice.
