Many people may not know but last month, U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus sentenced the former treasurer at Seed Faith International Church.  Jeffrey Mont, 33, of Indian Head, was sentenced to:

  • two years’ probation
  • nine months of home detention
  • and 40 hours of community service

This sentence is in connection for his assistance in helping Freeman cover up his assets.

Jeffery Mont also known as “J.J. Mont,” pleaded guilty on March 15 to obstructing court proceedings by helping Freeman doctor and submit backdated, false documents in December 2009 in response to a federal grand jury subpoena seeking corporate record, says SoMdNews.com.
