Woman sentenced in Obama records case

An Iowa woman charged with illegally viewing President Barack Obama’s student loan records has been sentenced, according to federal court documents.

Sandra Teague, 54, was sentenced to two year probation in District Court on Monday after a jury found her guilty of exceeding unauthorized computer access.

The terms of her probation also require her to serve six months of home confinement, excluding her job and other approved activities.

Teague was charged with the violation May 12 while working at Vangent Inc. of Coralville.

The sentencing comes after Teague and nine other employees were charged with accessing Obama’s records between July 26, 2007, and March 23, 2009, when he was a candidate, president-elect, and then president.
