In a shocking revelation, a New Haven man has pleaded guilty to a social security number fraud charge, highlighting the growing concerns of identity theft in the state of Connecticut.
NAIM HASAAN, 31, of New Haven, pleaded guilty to one count of social security number fraud before United States Magistrate Judge Donna F. Martinez in Hartford.
According to court documents and statements made in court, HASAAN applied for a non-driver identification card at the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles on 10 occasions between September 2006 and November 2007.
Each time, HASAAN presented a name and social security number of another person along with his own photo, resulting in the false obtainment of 10 non-driver identifications in other people’s names, each bearing his own photo.
HASAAN is scheduled to be sentenced by Chief United States District Judge Alvin W. Thompson on September 3, 2013, at which time HASAAN faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000.
This matter is being investigated by the Social Security Administration Office of Inspector General.
The case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Anjna Kapoor and Assistant United States Attorney Henry K. Kopel.
