SBU student charged with identity theft
|
A Stony Brook University college student has been charged with first-degree identity theft after police arrested him Monday.
They allege that Oluwole Owoseni, 22, of Brooklyn, stole the personal information of other students to apply for a student loan and credit card.
Owoseni worked at the campus Career Center and the Student Affairs office.
The investigation indicates that the security of the school's student database was not breached and the number of students affected is very small. Detectives are continuing to identify and contact students who may be victims. Detectives from the Computer Crimes Unit are assisting in the investigation.
Owoseni was arrested at the Sixth Precinct Jan. 26 and also charged with two counts of third-degree unlawful possession of personal identifiers and fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.
He was scheduled for arraignment on Tuesday in First District Court in Central Islip.
