How the 4-year sentence was calculated

Sentence components

- Good-time and parole considerations
Actual time detained and release date
Sorokin began custody in 2019 and was released in 2022 after serving most of the 4-year sentence. Conflicting reports sometimes cite different release windows; the verified timeline places her release in 2022, following completion of the custodial period and any post-release supervision.
Clarifying common misconceptions
Some sources confuse sentence length with time actually served, or include pending charges that did not result in additional time. The sentence was 4 years; the actual time served in prison was close to that term, minus credits and any early release measures, resulting in a detention period through 2022.
Status and current details
As of now, Sorokin has completed her sentence and is no longer incarcerated. She remains subject to any court-ordered supervised release conditions. The verified path from conviction through custody and release confirms that she served approximately 4 years in total.
