EDIT: This sentence is actually fine as a news headline, but wouldn't be used in speech.

In spoken English this would be
either
"... is being sentenced to prison."
or
"... was sentenced to prison."
or as was also mentioned
"... has been sentenced to prison".

perhaps
... has been sentenced to prison.
