Word just came in that a former couple from Lake Forest was indicted in Santa Ana today for knowingly hiring and harboring illegal immigrants. If convicted, the pair could face more than 15 years in prison, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The former couple apparently hired people here illegally and suggested they find spouses through Eharmony, the online dating Web site, or Leisure World, the retirement community in Seal Beach, an ICE report stated.

Marriage to a U.S. citizen could provide them with legal status.

Wilfredo Ngo, 51, and his ex-wife Teresa Ngo, 49, were indicted on four counts: inducing aliens to reside in the United States; knowingly employing illegal aliens; knowingly harboring illegal aliens; and counseling persons to engage in marriage fraud.

The Ngos own A-Plus Senior Planning Services, Inc., a Lake Forest employment agency that provides caregivers to Orange County private homes and elder care facilities.

Their office manager, 43-year-old Gicela Sarabia, was also indicted today on two counts: inducing aliens to reside in the United States and knowingly hiring illegal aliens. Sarabia is from the Philippines and also in the country illegally, ICE reported. MORE
