The jury deliberated for nearly four hours before returning with a guilty verdict and sentence. A judge is expected to formally sentence the man next month and can lower, but not increase, the prison time.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY

Two Plead Guilty to Fraud In Immigration Case

Two men have pleaded guilty in connection with a fraud ring, based in Prince William County, that provided immigrants with more than 100 counterfeit documents, federal prosecutors said yesterday.

Mario Peralta-Alatorre entered his plea yesterday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria to conspiracy to commit immigration document fraud. His co-conspirator, Adrian Sandoval-Perez, pleaded guilty last week. Both face up to five years in prison.

Prosecutors said the two men solicited business in parking lots in Prince William, and the counterfeit documents were produced at a house in Woodbridge. The documents included Social Security cards, resident alien cards and state identification documents.
