VICTORVILLE - A woman who applied for two mortgage loans in someone else's name pleaded guilty to forgery Thursday and is set to be deported after she serves a prison sentence, prosecutors said.
Fanny Velasquez, 54, was sentenced to 16 months in state prison. She will be released to Immigration and Customs Enforcement following her prison term and will be deported to Columbia, said San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office said.

The investigation began in October 2006 after a woman tried to buy a home in Victorville, but was turned down for credit. She checked her credit report and discovered she had $177,000 in mortgage loans for which she never applied, prosecutors said.

Investigators discovered Velasquez used the victim's identity to buy a new home. Velasquez was living in one of the homes with her family. She was arrested in Fontana in April 2005.
