A jury on Thursday found a woman guilty of identity-fraud crimes involving more than a dozen victims, Palm Beach County State Attorney Alexcia Cox announces.

After a three-day trial, Kadesa Sayles was convicted of 18 felony counts, including fraudulent use and possession of personal information, and grand theft of more than $100,000. The crimes occurred in April and May of this year.

Evidence showed that Sayles carried out a scheme involving the unauthorized porting of victims’ mobile phones, allowing her to access their financial accounts. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Dec. 17.

Assistant State Attorneys Ryan McGlynn and Michael Rachel of our White Collar Crime Unit prosecuted the case.

We thank the Palm Beach Police Department detectives for their investigation.
