He said he had 25 children

[NewsWhore]

The Central Electoral Board (JCE), the nation's civil registry for births, deaths and divorces, has filed charges of fraud against a man who allegedly claimed 25 children as his own. The fraud charges are based on the fact that none of the people claimed are his children, combined with the discovery that he had charged between RD$5,000 and RD$50,000 for each declaration of parenthood. According to the head of the JCE, the man, Roberto Nolasco Pimentel, received the collaboration of a JCE employee who is currently on a pension. Speaking at an inauguration ceremony of a program to train inspectors for the JCE, Roberto Rosario said that Nolasco Pimentel had violated the law, possibly together with several other people, and that he would be prosecuted. He also reported that a man who had been reported as deceased had managed to travel to the United States six times before the inconsistencies were revealed. He said that the forgeries and false birth records were used to change the person's age, to claim a pension, and in some cases to obtain a work contract. Rosario Martinez said that the computer system speeds up the process of discovering these attempts to obtain false documents.
