A former Stanton City Council member is on informal probation after pleading guilty to filing fraudulent nomination papers and has been ordered to perform 160 hours of community service, according to Orange County Superior Court records.
Hong Alyce Van, 41, pleaded guilty Dec. 22 to a misdemeanor. In the plea bargain with prosecutors, felony charges of perjury, offering a false or forged document to be filed, registered or record, and not being entitled to vote at an election were dropped.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Steve McGreevy allowed Van to complete the community service in Germany by Dec. 28 of next year, according to court records.
Van could not be immediately reached on Monday, Dec. 29, for comment.
Van was elected in 2020 to represent the city of Stanton’s District 2. She lost her reelection bid in 2024 to current Councilmember Victor Barrios.
Prosecutors alleged that less than a year after she was elected, she bought a home in the city’s District 4 and lived there while letting relatives reside in her other home in District 2.
Van also signed paperwork to run for re-election to District 2 despite living in District 4, prosecutors said. And they allege she did not change her voter registration to reflect her new address and then cast a ballot.
Van has lived in Stanton since she was 2, according to a biography previously published on the Stanton city website. It said she was born in a refugee camp in Hong Kong and is the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who moved to the United States.
She was first appointed to the City Council in 2019.
