Update: Former Medical Assistant at Gastroenterology Consultants Sentenced For Stealing Patients’ Identities From The Memorial Healthcare System Database

Posted on October 24, 2014 by Dissent

La Toya Yvette Tillman, 33, of Hollywood, was sentenced today to 36 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

Tillman previously pled guilty to one count of possessing fifteen or more unauthorized access devices with the intent to defraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1029(a)(3), and one count of aggravated identity theft, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1028A.

According to court documents, Tillman, who worked as a medical assistant at Gastroenterology Consultants in Hollywood, confessed to accessing the Memorial Healthcare System database through her computer at work to steal patient identities, including names, dates of birth, and social security numbers, so that she could sell them. She sold an individual approximately 2,000 identities for $1 each, and the individual told her that he used the identities to file fraudulent tax returns. In addition, in her car, Tillman had a list of 114 identities that included names, dates of birth, and social security numbers. Tillman knew that the victims did not authorize her to possess their personal identifying information.
