Jacksonville man gets 10 years for ID theft, accessing Naval ships

A Jacksonville man who used false identification to access secured areas at the Port of Jacksonville was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison Monday, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

“John Doe,” also known as “Leroy,” and “L.T.H.,” used false identification to get access to secure locations including Mayport Naval Station, at least five U.S. Navy ships and the port. He had 23 government forms of identification including a passport, two Mayport Naval Station contractor IDs, Florida driver’s licenses and U.S. Social Security cards.

A Transportation Worker Identification Credentials badge allowed the man to have unescorted access to secure areas of Jaxport, including the Blount Island Marine Terminal, according to the news release.

On May 24, 2012, a federal jury convicted John Doe of seven counts of aggravated identity theft, six counts of falsely representing a social security number and one count of passport fraud.

Law enforcement officials still don’t know his real name. He had assumed a living person’s identity and had been living under that identity for about 22 years.
