A U.S. Army veteran was indicted in a Philadelphia federal court Wednesday after prosecutors said he stole the identities of soldiers he served with from 2018 to 2021.
Alpha Omega Mayhue, 39, didn’t act alone, according to the indictment. He and his co-conspirators impersonated the victims and conducted numerous illegal transactions with banks, credit unions, the Federal Trade Commission and other entities, the Justice Department alleges.
Mayhue also is accused of cyberstalking after telling a woman he was surveilling her and subjecting her to sexual threats, prosecutors said.
Additional charges include conspiracy to commit identity theft, seven counts of misuse of a Social Security number, seven counts of aggravated identity theft and 21 counts of making false statements, the Justice Department said in a statement Wednesday.
If convicted, Mayhue, of Philadelphia, faces a maximum prison sentence of 164 years, three years of supervised release, a fine of $9.25 million and an additional penalty of $3,700. A court date for Mayhue’s plea hasn’t been announced.
