An Ex-Staffer to Georgia's Lt. Gov. Just Got Charged With Impersonating Him

The former director of operations for Georgia’s No. 2 elected official allegedly impersonated her boss in emails to get information on her own divorce.

Beth Green, who worked for Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan from the beginning of his term in January 2019 until this July, turned herself in this week and was charged with computer trespassing, invasion of privacy, and impersonating a public employee—all felonies, according to an arrest warrant obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Green, 49, is accused by the Paulding County Sheriff of taking her state-issued computer out of the office this summer and using it to send seven emails pretending she was Duncan., According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, she was allegedly trying to get information about her divorce out of her own attorney. Green’s husband filed for divorce in April and the separation was finalized in September, the Journal-Constitution reported.

The most serious charges, computer invasion of privacy and computer trespassing, each carry maximum sentences of up to 15 years in prison and a $50,000 fine. Green was released on a $10,000 bond Monday.

She should have just stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempted Coup d’Etat!

“Those people” are just getting their hands slapped!
