Nabbed!

Filed under: Legal Matters

It took them long enough!

According to the reports, a former employee of the UCLA Medical Center was indicted Tuesday by the Feds for allegedly accessing the confidential medical records of celebrity patients and selling them to a "national media outlet".

Lawanda Jackson was charged with obtaining the information between 2006 and May 21, 2007, when she was fired from her position at the hospital.

According to court documents, the "media outlet" paid Jackson (via her husband) at least $4600 for the information.

That's it?????

She sold out those celebs for cheap!

The court documents do not reveal which celebs Jackson sold out or the name of the media outlet, but we're told The National Enquirer was the one to pony up the cash for the info.

If convicted Jackson faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.

10 years for $4,600???

Pathetic!

    and what about the "media outlet" do they face anything?

  14. Normal Person says – reply to this

    Wow. I bet she regrets it now. Sometimes I think fame has a price you have to pay, like surrendering privacy…TO A CERTAIN extent. But Medical Records, SHOULD BE KEPT PRIVATE. I hope Lawanda gets the max. That is just wrong! Taking photos, writing articles, etc. is understandable but the media goes WAY too far sometimes. This is an example.

    What a moron. She SHOULD go to jail. When someone is sick and in the hospital, the last thing that they need to worry about is the public finding out. There should be severe penalties for hospital employees who divulge details to the outside.

    Re: sean – Apparently you didn't understand Perez's message. $4600 was all Lawanda Jackson received. The photo of Farrah is because it was HER medical records that leaked.

    JERIMIAH WRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

    OBAMA HAS TOO MUCH CLASS TO STOOP TO HER LEVEL AND TRASH TALK HER AND THROW THAT IN HER FACE AND SHE KNOWS IT.
    SHE NEEDS TO BACK DOWN NOW.
    ALL SHE IS DOING IS RUIN THE CHANCE FOR A DEMOCRATE TO RUN IN OFFICE
    SHE IS ONLY PROTECTING HERSELF AND RUINING OBAMA'S CHANCE SO MCCAIN CAN WIN AND SHE CAN RE-RUN IN 2012. SHE KNOWS SHE HAS NO CHANCE THIS YEAR.

    It's not 10 years for $4600, its 10 years for an intentional HIPPAA (the law that is made to protect any person from health information being leaked) violation. Which could also be penalized $25000 per incident.

    Re: Normal Person – I am with you on this ….for all that's right in the world, some things should be private no matter who you are. Farrah's got RECTAL cancer….in no way, in no how..should this be fodder for the media…That is way too personal and invasive on her life..geez, is all sense of dignity for others completely gone?

    Why don't they fine or arrest the news outlet for seeking confidential medical records??? That is a crime and it is no different then only arresting the prostitute and letting the john go. What a crock of shit!

    You've GOT to be shitting me with this?! What she did was wrong, however, how fucked up is the justice system when the man who locked up, raped, and sired children with his own daughter FOR 20 YEARS is up for only 5 YEARS MORE. MAXIMUM!!!

  40. Riley says – reply to this

    Federal law prohibits the release of private health information. She is lucky they didn't put her away for 20 years. I'd be furious if she gave out my health info- I'd sue her in civil court for damages and take every dime for the rest of her miserable life. I don't think the punishment is severe enough. patients are vulnerable and have to trust that they AND their records are safe and confidential.

    PEREZ — YOU ARE SUCH A GODDAMN IDIOT:

    she won;t get 10 years in jail for 10 years because she collected $4600
    — she could get 10 years for STEALING PRIVATE MEDICAL RECORDS AND SELLING THEM TO THE MEDIA.

    ———- go back to school you nitwit.

    Wow, racist! What a horrible, brainless comment to make. Clearly an uneducated, ignorant, shallow, unhappy person. I hope you get help Jennifer
    **i'm not sure why you think i need help. i am entitled to my opinions. you agree or you don't. you don't know me; if you did, you would know that i am quite educated; not genius, but smarter than most - my iq is 143. i may be ignorant about some things, but in those cases, looking at the true meaning of ignorant, it simply mean i am uninformed on the issues. i am informed about the way the majority of blacks behave, so i am not ignorant on the comment that so offended you. what she did is typical of black, and those blacks who do behave decently behave atypically of the general black culture. i won't deny that i am shallow, i am, and it doesn't bother me. if it bothers you, that's your problem, but since you don't know me, it shouldn't bother you at all. and i am not at all unhappy. i have a very good life, i really couldn't ask for more. well, more money maybe, but everything else is great.

    all that being said, my sister is dating a bi-racial guy, and some of my cousins are dating and/or have children by black or mexican men. that doesn't bother me at all. i like these guys, they're good people;we all get along, and yes, they know how i feel about the way many people of their race behave, and guess what? it doesn't bother any of them, even the ones who don't agree with me, because they respect my right to my opinion, just as i respect theirs. and if you think i am so terrible for name calling and making assumptions, what do you think of yourself doing the same to me? that makes you just like mean, horrible, brainless me you know. :D

    How about a mugshot, Perez? Not that Farrah doesn't look beautiful, bless her heart, but I think most of us would like to see the face of this criminal.

  54. Lulu says – reply to this


    54

    Perez- I heard she also got into your medical file and talked about the time you were in the ER with a chihuahua stuck up your ass. You told the doctor, and I quote " If a gerbil was good enough for Richard Geer, I figured a chihuahua would be good enough for me." The doctor went on to write that you had the biggest rectum he ever seen and it took 50 sutures to get it even close enough to look anatomically correct. He stated it that was probably from taking up the ass by so many celebs and also treated the herpes on your face caused by shoving your head up Paris Hilton's ass.
