164

 Beverly Newton,  52, of Middletown, pled guilty tax fraud  and Social Security fraud charges that initially netted $800,000.

Newton faces a maximum sentence of  20 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, and three  years of supervised release.
 
According to statements made at the plea hearing and documents filed in court, Newton participated in a tax fraud conspiracy involving the filing of more than 180 false individual federal income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, using stolen identities. 
The returns sought refunds of more than $1.8 million.  The defendant and her co-conspirators received more than $800,000.
The defendant’s role in the conspiracy involved providing names and social security numbers to another co-conspirator, who used the information to file  fraudulent returns. Newton received more than $300,000 in refunds for her part in the scheme.
 
This case is the result of an investigation conducted by the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General.  The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Lauren Paxton.
