ALIYAH THERESA JULIATE DAVIS, Identity Theft, Connecticut 2016
ALIYAH THERESA JULIATE DAVIS, a 36-year-old East Windsor woman, has pleaded guilty to multiple crimes committed while awaiting incarceration after a prior federal conviction.
According to court documents and statements made in court, DAVIS was sentenced in Hartford federal court to 51 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for engaging in a fraud and identity theft scheme at an insurance company where she was employed.
As part of her sentence, DAVIS was ordered to pay total restitution of $400,000 to the victim insurance company and three previous employers that she defrauded.
However, DAVIS’s crimes didn’t stop there. Beginning in January 2015, she made five separate motions to postpone her prison report date based on her claims of a diagnosis of terminal cancer and heart conditions. In association with her court motions, DAVIS submitted letters from various medical professionals detailing her claimed medical conditions. DAVIS created the letters and forged the medical professionals’ signatures.
DAVIS’s prison report dates were continued based on these fraudulent submissions. In March 2015, she changed her name from Theresa Juliate Sutherland to ALIYAH THERESA JULIATE DAVIS and received a new Social Security number and Connecticut driver’s license under her new identity.
On April 19, 2016, DAVIS submitted an application for a U.S. passport at the U.S. Postal Service facility on Weston Street in Hartford. On the application where it states ‘Have you ever applied for or been issued a U.S. Passport Book or Passport Card?’ DAVIS marked an ‘X’ in the ‘No’ box. However, in 2007, DAVIS applied for and received a U.S. passport when she was known as Theresa Juliate Sutherland.
DAVIS pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years; one count of knowingly making a false statement on a passport application, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years; one count of making a false statement, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years, and one count of aggravated identity theft, which carries a mandatory two-year term of imprisonment. She is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton on March 17, 2017.
DAVIS has been detained since her arrest on September 17, 2016. This matter is being investigated by the U.S. Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service, U.S. Department of Labor – Office of Inspector General, Office of the Chief State’s Attorney, Connecticut Department of Labor and East Windsor Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas P. Morabito.
