Gordon Bellamy, Jr., Computer Access Fraud, Oklahoma 2022

A Yukon man has pleaded guilty to computer access fraud in connection with a scheme to misrepresent FAA mechanic certification.

Gordon Bellamy, Jr., 42, of Yukon, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty to computer access fraud on October 3, 2022, announced U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester.

According to the indictment, Bellamy worked as an aircraft maintenance mechanic at the Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City and supervised mechanic crews responsible for removing and reattaching panels as part of the maintenance of commercial aircraft.

Under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, supervising employees must be certified Airframe and Powerplant mechanics. However, Bellamy illegally accessed an FAA database that contained records of all Airframe and Powerplant mechanic’s certificates, obtained a certificate belonging to another licensed mechanic, and falsely presented it to his employer as his own.

On August 17, 2022, a federal grand jury returned a three-count indictment against Bellamy for alleged offenses while he was employed by Ally Aerospace Services as a contractor for AAR Corporation.

The indictment charged Bellamy with wire fraud, computer access fraud, and aggravated identity theft. Bellamy pleaded guilty to computer access fraud and will face up to five years’ imprisonment and a fine of $250,000.

As part of the plea agreement, the government has agreed to dismiss the remaining counts of the indictment at sentencing. A sentencing date will be set by the court. Bellamy has been in federal custody since his arrest on August 23, 2022.
