Dominican National Lesbia Grullon Nolasco Convicted of Identity Theft and Passport Fraud in Orlando
A federal jury in Orlando, Florida, convicted Lesbia Cristina Grullon Nolasco (age 49) of multiple federal crimes involving identity theft. The charges include passport fraud, theft of government property, aggravated identity theft, and making false statements to a federal agency.
Grullon Nolasco used the identity of a U.S. citizen for decades, according to court findings presented during the trial. The offenses carry significant penalties: up to 10 years imprisonment for passport fraud and theft of government property, up to five years for making a false statement, and a mandatory minimum of two years consecutive imprisonment for aggravated identity theft.
The sentencing hearing is set for July 21, 2026. The combined sentences could result in a substantial prison term given the mandatory consecutive nature of the aggravated identity theft penalty.
This federal conviction underscores the seriousness of long-term identity fraud cases involving government documents in the United States.
