A 47-year-old has been jailed for nine (9)years after pleading guilty to defrauding more than 30 women of more than $1.3 million by pretending to be a doctor on online dating services and scamming them.

Brian Brainard Wedgeworth, 47, who formerly lived in the Florida capital city of Tallahassee is said to have used 10 different names as part of the scheme to lure and date women on dating sites.

According to prosecutors, Wedgeworth made promises to the women to con them into sending him money, jewelry, and watches among others.

He pleaded guilty to 25 counts, including wire fraud, mail fraud, aggravated identity the, ft and money laundering.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Service and the Internal Revenue Service, and authorities said they are searching for any additional victims in Florida and other states.

Wedgeworth’s sentence will be followed by three years of supervised release. He will also be required to pay nearly $1.2 million in restitution.
