MOBILE, Alabama – A federal judge on Monday sentenced a woman to pay restitution to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as part of an ongoing mortgage fraud prosecution the Midtown Mortgage brokerage.

In June, 27-year-old Delaine Williams pleaded guilty to falsifying a mortgage loan application so that it would be approved. It was alleged she falsely indicated that $5,000 for a down payment had come from a gift from a borrower’s sister.

For the crime, U.S. District Judge Kristi Dubose sentenced Williams to five years of probation and ordered her to pay $45,707.66 in restitution to HUD. She is one of several Midtown Mortgage employees to be charged with federal crimes related to loans that went bad.
