One-half of the infamous Clermont Twins will be taking an extended break as Shannade Clermont has been sentenced to a year in prison. Shannade was represented by Jeffrey Lichtman, who is currently defending El Chapo’s drug trafficking case.
PAPER who was present in the courtroom reports as model and reality star Shannade Clermont, alongside sister Shannon, family and friends, learned her fate in connection with one felony count of wire fraud.
She plead guilty and was convicted by the Southern District Court of New York Judge Naomi Buchwald. Today, Shannade was sentenced to 12 months in prison, three years of supervised release following, and a $100 fine for special assessment. The court also found that Shannade was guilty of having committed credit card theft, using the banking information of a man who died of an accidental overdose sometime either during or after a prostitution date he had with Shannade. The drugs present in his system when he was found dead on February 1, 2017 were alcohol and cocaine laced with fentanyl.

Shannade’s lawyer argued for her freedom on the basis of her being a law-abiding citizen with no prior criminal history. The lawyer representing the family of the deceased man argued that Shannade might have been those things, but on January 31, 2017, when the date took place, she showed her “true colors” in the moments and weeks following. The man was, according to Shannade’s own prior testimony and Lichtman, incapacitated from using drugs and alcohol while in her presence. Lichtman argued that Shannade did not believe he was in “great distress,” and had she known he was, she would have alerted authorities.
