A former Library of Congress personnel executive and his cousin have been charged with using information from employee records to finance a personal shopping binge, authorities announced Wednesday.
William Sinclair and Labiska Gibbs are facing up to 20 years and 37 years in prison, respectively, on charges that they accessed library personnel files and applied for lines of credit.
Gibbs, 35, was indicted Tuesday. Sinclair, 27, was charged by information — an indication that he has worked out a deal with prosecutors. Court papers also state that Sinclair is talking with prosecutors.
According to court documents, Sinclair was one of the few library employees who had access to the library's payroll system.
