Prison Sex ID Thief Gets Probation

(Baltimore, Maryland) In April, 29-year-old Tiffany Gwen Weaver pleaded guilty in Baltimore Circuit Court to identity theft for using false ID to enter prison and have sex with her prisoner boyfriend.

Prosecutors said that on Nov. 13 Weaver used a falsified Maryland State Bar Association identification badge to gain entry to the Maryland Reception Diagnostic and Classification Center in downtown Baltimore.

Once inside the prison and alone with her inmate boyfriend, Jason Beau Moody (doing 30 years for manslaughter), a prison employee spotted "Moody behind Weaver, who had her skirt up." However, according to Weaver's attorney, Mr. Bates, "There was no thrusting whatsoever." Since Weaver has never been in trouble before and there was no thrusting, Mr. Bates planned to urge the court to impose probation when she is sentenced.

In the latest development, Weaver gets probation before judgment.

Weaver was sentenced yesterday to three years of supervised probation and 300 hours of community service. She had pleaded guilty in April to identity theft and use of false government identification.

The 29-year-old restaurant worker and Reisterstown resident, who said she loves animals and volunteers at a homeless shelter, could have spent up to six months behind bars.

But Baltimore Circuit Judge Althea M. Handy called her a "young person with a bright future" and granted her probation before judgment, meaning the convictions can be wiped from her record if she successfully completes the probation.

It's beyond me what the judge is thinking. The young person with a bright future 1) is not all that young, 2) has no problem stealing the identity of another, 3) is devoted to a convicted killer and willing to break laws to be with him. With those attributes, the only future brightness for Weaver would appear to be as a gangster's moll.
