A man authorities say was responsible for losses of more than $400,000 by using stolen identities to obtain vehicles and credit in California has pleaded guilty to a few of the many charges of identity theft and vehicle grand theft brought by the state and San Diego County prosecutors.

Jean Parret will serve 11 years in prison, California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office said Aug. 22.

Parret, 49, had faced seven counts of grand theft, three counts of attempted grand theft and 10 counts of illegally using another party’s personal information in a case prosecuted by Bonta’s office. The attorney general’s office said Parret carried out an “extensive” scheme in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties from November 2021 to February 2022.

“His victims included not only the lenders and dealerships who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but also the identity theft victims who were left dealing with the financial, legal, and emotional impacts of having their identity stolen and their credit damaged,” Bonta’s office wrote in a news release.

The state had accused Parret of using fraud to obtain a 2021 Ford Ranger Lariat from then-Worthington Ford in Long Beach, now BP Ford of Long Beach; a 2020 Ranger from Kia Downtown Los Angeles; a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 from Bunnin Chevrolet of Santa Paula; a 2021 Nissan Titan from Garden Grove Nissan; a 2022 Silverado from Chevrolet of Montebello; a 2022 Ford F-150 from Norm Reeves Ford Cerritos; and a 2020 Audi S3 from Walter’s Audi in Riverside.

He pleaded guilty to stealing the Titan and to one count of identity theft the same day. He also pleaded guilty to committing identity theft on the same days as the alleged Ranger theft at Worthington Ford and alleged Silverado theft at Chevrolet of Montebello, though he did not admit to stealing either of those vehicles.

The state also had accused Parret of trying to steal a 2020 Ranger from Raceway Ford in Riverside, a 2021 F-150 from Worthington Ford and a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover from Jaguar-Land Rover South Bay in Torrance, but he did not plead guilty to any of those attempted grand theft charges.

“We won’t stand idly by when bad actors prey on businesses and innocent people to enrich themselves,” Bonta said in a statement. “Today’s sentence should serve as a reminder: If you break the law and engage in fraud or theft, my office will hold you accountable. I want to thank DOJ’s hardworking attorneys, as well as our partners in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties, for coming together to make sure justice is served today.”

Information on Parret’s counsel was not available. An inquiry to Parret’s email address returned an error message.

San Diego County prosecuted Parret in similar crimes carried out in late 2021 to early 2022. Parret pleaded guilty to one count of attempted grand theft and one count of using the personal identification of another.

Parret had been originally accused by San Diego County authorities of eight counts of grand theft, eight counts of using someone else’s personal information, eight counts of unlawful taking and driving of a vehicle, one count of obtaining another party’s personal information, two counts of handling a stolen vehicle, one count of possession of a forged driver’s license and one count of attempting to illegally take and drive a vehicle.

San Diego County authorities said Parret stole vehicles from Santa Monica Audi, Mossy Honda Lemon Grove, an unspecified CarMax, Simpson Chevrolet of Irvine, North County Ford in Vista,, Audi of Escondido, Mission Bay Chevrolet in San Diego and Quality Chevrolet in Escondido. His guilty plea to using another person’s information was associated with an alleged vehicle theft at CarMax, but his guilty plea to attempted grand theft auto involved a vehicle from Simpson Chevrolet.

Matthew Dix, deputy district attorney for San Diego County, said a guilty plea in his jurisdiction carries what is known as a “Harvey Waiver,” in which the court can consider the entire complaint and set of victims even if the defendant only pleaded guilty to some of the allegations.

In a large case with multiple identical counts like this one, the defendant only pleads guilty to some of them, Dix said.

“The specific count and victim attached to that count don’t carry a lot of significance,” he wrote in an email. “The more important thing to consider is all the named victims on the complaint and the judge will consider all of them for sentencing and restitution.”
