ID thief lived in Idaho under fake name

A North Idaho man who assumed another person’s identity and moved to Tensed, Idaho to evade his sentence on a 2000 Colorado conviction for sexual assault of a child has been sentenced to federal prison for aggravated identity theft.

Kevin John Weinreis, 50, of Tensed, Idaho, pleaded guilty to using another person’s name, Social Security number and birthdate to apply for a U.S. Passport with his photo on it, and living under the false identity, including traveling out of the country for a vacation in Panama.

Weinreis, who entered an Alford plea in 2000, acknowledging that Colorado could prove its child sexual assault case against him, claimed he was falsely accused by his ex-wife of molesting their young daughter when the two were in the midst of bitter divorce proceedings, according to court documents. Under a plea agreement, he was sentenced to six months in jail and 15 years to life of supervised release. He served 90 days in jail, then enrolled in court-ordered sex offender treatment, but was dismissed from the program for continuing to assert his innocence/ Betsy Russell , SR. More here.
