Jason Calabrese, of Watertown, has been sentenced to prison in New Haven court for his involvement in a series of fraudulent mortgage loan applications.

According to court documents and statements made in court, in November 2005, Calabrese’s co-conspirator took out a $923,200 loan to purchase a home in Morris for more than $1.1 million, despite lacking the income to pay off the mortgage. The property was owned by an entity controlled by Ryan Geddes, another co-conspirator.

Provenzano applied for a mortgage through Calabrese, a mortgage broker at the time. The application contained statements that Calabrese knew to be false; however Calabrese submitted the loan application to a lender, which issued a $923,000 mortgage. At the closing, Calabrese’s mortgage company was paid a $32,312 broker’s fee.

In November 2006, Provenzano applied for a new mortgage through Calabrese to refinance the previous year’s mortgage for the property with similar fraudulent statements. At the closing, Calabrese’s mortgage company was paid an $18,720 broker’s fee.

The 2005 loan application had stated that Provenzano would reside in the 27 Palmer Road property as an owner-occupant. However, Geddes and his family continued to reside in the property. For a few years, Geddes paid Provenzano “rent,” which Provenzano used to cover the mortgage payments. When Geddes moved out of house and stopped forwarding payments to Provenzano, Provenzano was no longer able to pay the mortgage and the property went into foreclosure.

Calabrese was sentenced to six months of imprisonment, followed by three months of home confinement and two years of supervised release. He also was ordered to pay a $3,000 fine and $400,585 in restitution.

On May 5, 2015, Calabrese pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud.

Provenzano and Geddes previously pleaded guilty. On Dec. 1, 2014, Provenzano was sentenced to 18 months of imprisonment. Geddes awaits sentencing.
