Charges were filed as the result of an investigation by the Identity Task Force, comprised of the Indiana State Police and United States Postal Inspection Service.
The specific sentence in each case to be imposed upon conviction will be determined by the judge after a consideration of federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
