Man of multiple identities fined for fraud

Permalink

A Jamaican deportee who used three identities, was sentenced Friday to pay $120,000 in fines or spend six months in prison after he pleaded guilty to fraud charges in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.

Immigration officers discovered that the man - Gary Hylton - had two other identities while he awaited deportation from the United States earlier this year, after serving a four-year sentence on money laundering charges.

As the United States prison officials tried to determine Hylton's country of origin, checks with the local Passport Immigration and Citizenship Agency revealed that he had additional passports in the names Patrick Bailey and Kevin Wright.

After he landed in the island, he was subsequently arrested and charged with two counts each of making a false declaration and obtaining a passport by means of fraud. He was also charged with conspiracy to defraud.

On Friday Hylton's attorney asked presiding magistrate Glen Brown to be lenient in sentencing his client who fathers two children and had not wasted the court's time by claiming innocence.

The attorney also asked the judge not to impose a custodial sentence, as Hylton had already spent a significant amount of time behind bars, and away from his wife and children who currently reside in the United States.

After withdrawing the conspiracy to defraud charge, RM Brown then sentenced Hylton to pay $20,000 - $30,000 on each of the false declaration and obtaining counts.
