Reality star Hatch accused of violating probation

U.S. reality TV star Richard Hatch is facing the possiblity of another two years behind bars after allegations he violated the terms of his probation.


The embattled star was convicted in 2006 for failing to pay taxes on the $1 million prize money he won of the first season of America's Survivor.

He walked free from a Massachusetts prison after completing a three year federal sentence for tax evasion in October 2009 and has since began a three-year period of supervised release under the condition that he refile and pay taxes on show winnings and other income.

According to AccessHollywood.com, the federal probation office has now filed a complaint saying Hatch has failed to refile his 2000 and 2001 tax returns.

He is said to appear in a federal court in Providence, Rhode Island on Monday 10 January to face the allegations.

The website reports Hatch could face two years behind if he is found guilty.
