SAN DIEGO —  A 49-year-old man pleaded guilty and was sentenced this week to stealing identities to purchase high-end vehicles from car dealerships throughout Southern California, including in San Diego County, according to state prosecutors. In a case filed by the California State Attorney General's Office, Jean Anthony Parret pleaded guilty Tuesday to multiple counts of identity theft and grand theft after he had opened lines of credit and defrauded lenders in Los Angeles, Kern, Ventura, and Riverside counties, according to a Department of Justice news release.
