NY Woman Indicted for Cheating Local Divorce Court

Jill Albertina-King stole the identity of another woman in order to help that woman's estranged husband in court.

A New York woman has been indicted on two felony identity fraud charges after she attempted to help a man cheat the local divorce court system.

Jill Albertina-King, 42, of 17006 Baisley Blvd. in Jamaica, N.Y., was indicted this month by a Rockingham Superior Court grand jury for the crime, which allegedly occurred in Hampton in March 2008, according to the indictments.

The indictments allege that Albertina-King "obtained personal identifying information" about an area woman in order to pose as the woman during divorce proceedings and help the woman's "estranged husband" receive a more favorable outcome during those proceedings.

Albertina-King also used information from the estranged husband in order to obtain a driver's license identifying her as the man's wife.

Both counts are Class A felonies.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt or conviction; rather, it means a grand jury believed there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
