On January 26, 2009, Warthen pleaded guilty to evading $25,424 in back taxes. Under the plea agreement, she agreed to three years probation including one year of home confinement and agreed to pay the U.S. Treasury $313,133.44, the amount she claimed on her escort service website that she had paid on her student loans from her earnings.
On September 28, 2009, she was sentenced to one year of home detention and ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device. As part of the plea deal she was ordered to pay the government $243,000 instead of the $313,000 in the original arrangement.
