Former CSUS employee George Beatty was sentenced to two years and four months in state prison on Tuesday. Beatty, who worked in the Admissions and Records section for 10 years, was arrested by Sacramento police on Aug. 23 for stealing Social Security numbers from admission applications and using them to commit identity theft. In September, he pled guilty to felony violations of both identity and grand theft. He was also ordered to pay an $80,000 fine along with serving jail time.

According to Sacramento County Deputy District Attorney Brett Morgan, Beatty used the information he obtained at CSUS to establish nine different identities and obtain credit cards and services. He also used fictitious names and social security numbers to defraud over 20 different companies. "That was a good sentence in light of the fact that he had no criminal background," Morgan said.
