A former UCLA Medical Center worker has been indicted for allegedly accessing the confidential medical records of several celebrities and selling the information to a media outlet.

Lawanda Jackson, 49, was charged with illegally obtaining individually identifiable health information for commercial advantage.

According to the federal indictment, Jackson received $4,600 from the yet unknown media outlet, in exchange for the celebrities' private medical data. The identities of the celebrities involved were not disclosed.

Earlier this month, the Los Angeles Times reported that Jackson was accused of allegedly accessing the medical records of Maria Shriver, wife of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and actress Farrah Fawcett.

She declared at the time that she was just "being nosy." She told the Times she had had no intention of spreading the information or selling it.

"I didn't leak anything or anything like that," she said, after admitting she had made a mistake. "It wasn't for money or anything. It was just looking."

If convicted, Jackson faces up to 10 years in prison.

UCLA Medical Center has had to discipline a group of employees in the past months, after they accessed celebrities' private medical records. About 50 workers, including 14 doctors, were accused of accessing Britney Spears' records when she gave birth to her first son in 2005 and while she was in the hospital's psychiatric unit.
