Problem source :

In this line : BirthDates = scLine.nextInt();, you try to get a birth day as int , but you read the second value after # like Jackson.

Solution :

Get the full name, then get your birth day :

  Name = scLine.next();
  secondeName = scLine.next();
  BirthDates = scLine.nextInt();
