GREENVILLE, S.C. - Seven former Greenville poultry plant workers have admitted they used fake identities to work for a company that has been the focus of an illegal immigration probe.

The former House of Raeford Farms workers pleaded guilty to identity theft in federal court Tuesday. They each face up to two years in prison.

Prosecutors say the men used invalid alien registration and Social Security numbers, or listed other people's numbers as their own.

The Charlotte Observer reported in February that plant workers were in the country illegally and that managers at the North Carolina-based company knew about it.

The men are to be sentenced in about two months. The trial of a human resources manager accused in the case has been delayed until later this year.
