SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Aaron Gilliam, 51, of Sherman Oaks, was
sentenced today to 22 months in prison for conspiracy to commit bribery, to
commit identity fraud, and to commit unauthorized access of a computer, U.S.
Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.
According to court documents, Gilliam worked at the
Hollywood DMV starting in October 2006. Between January 2011 and July 2017,
Gilliam was a Motor Vehicle Representative at the DMV’s Hollywood office where
he processed driver’s licenses. Gilliam admitted that between April 2016 and
July 2017, he had received money in exchange for accessing the DMV’s database
to alter records to result in a passing score for written examinations for
individuals who had not taken or passed the examinations. Based on evidence
obtained through the investigation, Gilliam was responsible for the issuance of
at least 57 fraudulent licenses and permits.
This case was the product of an investigation by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the California Department of Motor Vehicles Office
of Internal Affairs. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rosanne L. Rust prosecuted the
case.
