The number of people involved in scandal at UCLA Medical Center has reached 68
State health regulators have linked 14 more people to the improper accessing of medical records of high-profile patients at UCLA Medical Center.
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that brings to 68 the total of those implicated in the scandal.
Actress Farrah Fawcett, pop star Britney Spears and California first lady Maria Shriver are among the 61 patients whose medical records were breached.
Authorities on April 28 announced the indictment of former UCLA Medical employee Lawanda Jackson on one count of illegally obtaining individually identifiable health information for commercial advantage.
Jackson, 49, resigned in July. Last month the Times reported she acknowledged snooping in records but denied giving out the information or being paid for it.
