Five Guilty Pleas In Snoop Of President’s Student Loan Records
DES MOINES, Iowa — Two former employees of a U.S. Department of Education contractor in Iowa have pleaded guilty to illegally viewing President Barack Obama’s student loan records.
Julie Kline of Ainsworth, Iowa, pleaded guilty Friday to exceeding authorized computer access. Gary Grenell of Iowa City pleaded guilty to the charge July 12. Both face up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
They were among nine former employees of Vangent Inc. accused of viewing Obama’s student loan records between 2007 and 2009.
Three other defendants have pleaded guilty, and four are scheduled for trial.
The nine employees, who were fired last year, had all pleaded not guilty at their indictments in May, 2010.
