Man on probation for using forged passport

Posted on Jul 04 2005

A man who admitted using a forged passport was required to report to the U.S. Probation Office after the U.S. District Court placed him on two years of supervised release.

The court also sentenced Jiang Jing Ju to imprisonment equivalent to the time he has already served in prison.

Chief Judge Alex R. Munson meted out the sentence after the man pleaded guilty to false use of a passport and fraudulent misuse of a visa.

Federal prosecutors had charged the man with presenting a forged and altered passport to CNMI Immigration officials when he traveled from South Korea to Saipan on May 30, 2004.

The prosecutors said that he attempted to travel to Guam the following June 5, but was refused a boarding pass by Continental Micronesia.

Despite the refusal, the man attempted to travel to Guam through another air carrier, Pacific Islands Aviation, on June 15, 2004.
