Man pleads guilty in ID theft that fueled lavish life
A 25-year-old Everett, Wash., man accused of a large identity theft scheme that paid for a lavish life with his girlfriend has pleaded guilty.
Edward Anderton pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in Philadelphia to conspiracy, aggravated identity theft and bank fraud.
Anderton lived in a fashionable Philadelphia neighborhood with his then-girlfriend, 22-year-old Jocelyn Kirsch. Prosecutors say they obtained $120,000 in goods and services after stealing financial information.
He's free on bail pending sentencing, which is set for Aug. 29.
Kirsch is due in court Thursday. Prosecutors say she stole and used an acquaintance's credit card in California, where she has been living while awaiting her federal plea.
