Actor Antwon Tanner Pleads Guilty in Social Security Scam

Actor Antwon Tanner ("One Tree Hill", "Coach Carter") has pleaded guilty to selling Social Security numbers. On Friday, he told a Brooklyn, NY judge that he sold more than a dozen of the identification numbers for $10,000.

Tanner, who plays Skills on the teen drama "One Tree Hill", said he was simply a middleman in the whole scheme. He sold official details which were provided by an unnamed source.

Authorities charged the 34-year-old in April 2009 after he sold 16 Social Security numbers and three fake Social Security cards to undercover Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in a sting operation. He faces up to a year in prison and is due to be sentenced on November 20.

Prosecutors also revealed that Tanner is under investigation in California, although they have not revealed the reason for that probe.
