Man Purchases 2 Homes Using 8-year-Old's SS Number

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ― Authorities have arrested 30-year-old Vicente Soto who fraudulently obtaining a social security number to purchase two homes in the Sacramento area.

The victim was unaware that her social security number was being used until she tried to obtain utility services in Kentucky. She was then notified by the utility company that someone in Sacramento had an active electricity account.

The victim of the crime was eight-years-old when Soto stole her social security number.  She had no idea that her information had been stolen until she tried to get a credit at the age of 20.

After further investigations, police learned that Soto used the social security number to obtain homes totaling $621,000 for two residences in the Sacramento area. Soto also used the social security number in other states, including Minnesota, where he obtained a driver's license.

Soto is facing identification theft charges.
