Jocelyn Kirsch reaches a plea agreement

Pat Meehan, U.S. Attorney , today called Jocelyn Kirsch and Edward Anderton "the poster children for identity theft." The couple robbed nearly everyone they came into contact with of their most precious possessions: their identities. As part of the plea agreement, state charges against the couple have been dropped, in favor of the current federal charges.

Her attorney Ronald Greenblatt told the Associated Press his client will plead guilty to six counts, including two counts of aggravated identity theft, one count of bank fraud and one count of money laundering.

"She's supposed to be graduating college now, and instead she's going to be going down to federal court in a few weeks and entering a plea," Greenblatt said today.

"Their year of living dangerously has caught up with them now," said U.S. Attorney Meehan.

Kirsch, 22, who left Drexel University in Philadelphia after being charged, faces a mandatory minimum of two years in prison, with a potential of more than five years.

Her boyfriend Edward Anderton, 25, also signed a federal plea deal, Greenblatt told the AP, but did not give details. His attorney, Larry Krasner said this morning he would have no comment.

In all the complaints against the couple involve 16 victims.
