Montco woman sentenced in immigration case

A King of Prussia woman was sentenced to 21 months in prison today for denying on an immigration application that she been a prostitute or had procured anyone for prostitution.

Natalya Goretska, 29, a Ukraine national, was charged with making a false statement to the Department of Homeland Security in her application to become a permanent U.S. resident.
Goretska had helped secure clients via the Internet for a Russian prostitution business known as "Berenika," which employed adults and minors to work as prostitutes in Moscow, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia. She was arrested in December.

Berenika was owned and operated by, among others, Andrew Mogilyansky of Richboro, who is awaiting sentencing for sex charges brought against him in the case, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.

Goretska also was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine. She faces immigration removal proceedings.
