An Aiken man who pleaded guilty to identity theft charges earlier this year was sentenced by a federal judge Wednesday and will spend five years in prison and pay more than $145,000 in restitution to his victims.
Larry V. Bates Jr., 39, was sentenced in federal court in Columbia for conspiracy to commit identity theft, U.S. Attorney Walter Wilkins announced Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Margaret B. Seymour sentenced Bates to five years in prison and ordered over $145,000 in restitution to be paid to the victims of his crime.
According to their indictment, Bates conspired with an employee of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union, Julie Davis, to obtain driver's licenses, birth certificates, credit cards and other employees information.
The grand jury charged, and Bates now admits, that he used the identification to obtain credit cards, store cards and automobile loans fraudulently.
The pair used the identification to fraudulently charge the $145,000 he now must repay.
Bates was originally charged with nine counts of identification fraud that happened between November 2006 and the end of March 2007.
During the investigation, Bates was found to be in possession of personal information from 44 different individuals.
The case was investigated by agents of the United States Secret Service and the United States Postal Inspector. Assistant U.S. Attorney Winston D. Holliday Jr., of the Columbia office, handled the case.
