A former Worcester housing official will spend 40 months in in prison for her role in a $2.3 million fraud scheme relating to the redevelopment of a multi-family building in the city, a judge has ruled.

Jacklyn M. Sutcivni, 48, of Dracut, will serve three years of supervised release following her incarceration, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy S. Hillman ruled Monday.

Sutcivni, formerly known as Jacqueline Vachon-Jackson, was convicted last August of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, two counts of wire fraud, three counts of conspiracy to defraud the United States and four counts of aiding and abetting false, fictitious or fraudulent claims, according to court documents.

“This fraud is not a victimless crime – the Worcester community and its families deserve and are entitled to city employees that do their jobs with integrity,” said United States Attorney Rachael S. Rollins. “Jacklyn Sutcivni repeatedly chose to dishonor her public office and the good people of Worcester who placed their trust in her. Today’s sentence reinforces our steady resolve to investigate public officials who abuse their positions and hold them accountable for breaching the public’s trust.”
