Former Cuesta College employee sentenced for identity theft

Posted on February 5, 2016 by Dissent

There’s a follow-up to an insider breach at Cuesta College first noted on this site in June, 2015.

The employee in question, Lacey Fowler, 30, was a human resources analyst at the college and used her position to access co-workers’ information to open up credit accounts in the victims’ names.

She had  pleaded no contest to felony charges and was sentenced last week to 350 days in San Luis Obispo County Jail. Upon release, she will be on probation for four years and must participate in residential drug treatment.  Patrick Pemberton has the details on The Tribune.
