MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- A federal judge sentenced a former Miami Dade College employee in connection to an identity tax fraud scheme in South Florida.
A judge sentenced Michelson Jeancy, 35, of Miami to 36 months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud.
FBI officials said he worked at the college as a student services assistant which means he had access to student records that had their personal identification. Using that information, court documents say, Jeancy and his accomplices filed fraudulent tax returns.
The crimes allegedly happened from February 2013 to June 2014.
The judge also ordered Jeancy to pay restitution in the amount of $19,083 for his participation in the scheme.
