DALLAS (February 5, 2010)--A Bedford woman apologized as she was sentenced to 34 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges in an identity theft scam that targeted educators in Irving.

Sharon Denise Seeley was sentenced to 30 years for fraudulent use or possession of identifying information and to two years on each of two counts of credit card abuse.

Seeley, 40, will serve the sentences concurrently.

About a dozen victims were in court Thursday and several testified about how ID theft had destroyed their credit ratings and left their lives in turmoil.

Thieves were blamed for getting the data of more than 3,000 Irving teachers and other district employees from an old benefits report.

Seeley, who was arrested in 2009 at a mall, said the information she used came from a binder thrown in a trash bin.
