Pitt alum Han Tong was sentenced on Monday to three years probation and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after a Western Pennsylvania district court determined he took part in a scheme to cheat on college entrance exams.

周一，賓夕法尼亞州西部法庭認定匹茲堡大學校友Han Tong參與了大學入學考試作弊籌劃案件后，他被判處三年緩刑，并移交給美國移民和執(zhí)法局執(zhí)法人員。

U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti sentenced Tong Monday after he, along with 14 other Chinese individuals, used counterfeit passports to take fraudulent college entrance exams for other students, like the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the Graduate Record Examination and the Test of English as a Foreign Language.

Han Tong伙同其他14名中國人使用假護照頂替學生替考大學入學考試，包括參加SAT、GRE和TOEFL考試。美國地區(qū)法官Joy Flowers Conti周一對Han Tong做出宣判。

Tong, who graduated from Pitt in 2011 and used a fraudulent exam to guarantee his admission, now runs the risk of being deported.

Han Tong 2011年畢業(yè)于匹茲堡大學，當時在考試中作假得以被錄取，現(xiàn)在面臨被驅逐的危險。

The 15 conspirators, who were indicted in May 2015, made and sent counterfeit Chinese passports to the United States where imposters used them to trick administrators into thinking they were the conspirators. From 2011 to 2015, the conspirators used this system to take fraudulent college and graduate school entrance exams, the majority of which were in Western Pennsylvania, according to a press release from the Department of Justice.

這15名共犯于2015年5月被起訴，他們制造并把偽造的中國護照送給美國的替考人，使管理者相信替考人是策劃者。據(jù)司法部新聞公布，從2011年到2015年，策劃者使用該系統(tǒng)在大學和研究生入學考試中作假，大部分案件發(fā)生在賓夕法尼亞州西部。

The defendants were indicted with conspiracy, counterfeiting foreign passports, mail fraud and wire fraud. Tong, who was considered an organizer or leader in criminal activity, was charged with conspiracy, three counts of making and using forged passports, two counts of wire fraud and one count of mail fraud. His case involved seven counterfeit passports.

被告被起訴籌劃、偽造外國護照、郵件欺詐和電信欺詐。Han Tong被認定為犯罪活動的組織者或領導者，被指控籌劃、制造和使用偽造護照三起罪狀、電信詐騙兩起罪狀和郵件詐騙一起罪狀。他的案件涉及7本偽造護照。

According to court documents, Tong did not have any other criminal history.

根據(jù)法庭文件，Han Tong沒有其他犯罪記錄。

Immigration and Customs Enforcement will decide whether or not he will be deported, and his probation will be enacted if he is not deported immediately, according to James Kitchen, an assistant attorney for the US.

跟據(jù)美國助理法官James Kitchen，美國移民和執(zhí)法局將決定他是否被驅逐出美國，如果他沒有被立即驅逐出境，將立即服刑。

According to Kitchen, most of the defendants involved in the test-taking scheme have already been sentenced and deported. Now that Tong has been sentenced, Gong Zhang is the only defendant who has not received the same sentence, though he has plead guilty and been convicted. Kitchen said they are just waiting for him to go “through the system.”

助理法官James Kitchen稱：在這類考試作弊籌劃案件中，大多數(shù)被告已被判刑并驅逐?，F(xiàn)在Han Tong已被判刑，Gong Zhang是唯一沒有受到同樣判刑的被告，盡管他已經(jīng)認罪并被宣判。助理法官James Kitchen說他們只是在等他“通過系統(tǒng)審查”。

Tong’s attorney, James Brink, said on Tuesday he could not comment on the case.

Han Tong的律師James Brink周二說對案件不做評論。

At Pitt, if the University is informed of misconduct on entrance exams, they will revoke admission, according to University spokesperson Joe Miksch. Before submitting an application, Miksch said all undergraduate applicants are informed that they will be asked to “verify the completeness and accuracy of each component of [their] application with [their] online signature.” Besides Tong himself, it’s unclear if any other Pitt students were admitted through the scam, Miksch said.

根據(jù)匹茲堡大學發(fā)言人Joe Miksch說，在匹茲堡大學，如果大學被告知入學考試中有違規(guī)行為，他們將收回錄取。該發(fā)言人稱：在提交入學申請之前，所有本科申請者被告知，要求他們“在線簽名保證申請中的各部分是完整和正確的”。

At the time of their indictment, U.S. attorney David J. Hickton said the defendants were not only securing fraudulent admission to American institutions but also bypassing certain student visa requirements.The case, he said in the press release, established that the U.S. Attorney’s Office will “protect the integrity of our passport and visa process, as well as safeguard the national asset of our higher education system.”

在對他們的起訴中，美國律師David J. Hickton說：被告不僅以欺騙行為被美國大學錄取，而且繞過某些學生簽證要求。他在新聞發(fā)言中稱：該案件使美國聯(lián)邦檢察官辦公室建立了“保護我們護照和簽證程序的完整性，并保護美國高等教育系統(tǒng)的國家資產(chǎn)”。

The most recent prosecution “underscores the need to assure that admission to the United States and its educational institutions is honestly and fairly obtained,” acting U.S. attorney Soo C. Song said through a spokesperson.

代理美國律師Soo C. Song通過發(fā)言人說，最近的起訴“強調(diào)了確保美國錄取和其教育機構是誠實和公正的必要性”。
