The Situation will be allowed to film MTV's Jersey Shore Family Vacation after pleading guilty to tax fraud

TMZ

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and his brother each entered a guilty plea in federal court this morning for failing to pay taxes on nearly $9 million on income. The MTV star faces up to five years in prison and up to a $250,000 fine, according to TMZ. But the judge will allow him to reunite with his MTV pals in Florida to film Jersey Shore Family Vacation before his formal sentencing on April 25. The Situation initially faced up to 15 years in prison. The Situation's attorneys said in a statement to the court that he has turned his life around into "something positive" and has been sober for two years: "We hope that the Court will consider the totality of the circumstances, including Michael’s minor role in the offense, and impose a fair sentence. In the meantime, he will continue to entertain millions on Jersey Shore and thanks everyone who has expressed support.”
