Hollywood hacker jailed for 10 yrs.

[VoG]

A federal judge on Monday sentenced a man who hacked into the personal online accounts of Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis and other women to 10 years in prison.

US district judge S James Otero sentenced Christopher Chaney in Los Angeles after hearing from a tearful Johansson in a videotaped statement.

Whilst the delightful miss Johansson's breasts may be undoubtabley magnificent, i'm not sure there so irresistable as to be worth getting yourself banged up for 10 years over.

Joking aside, given the severity if the sentence, i can see why Gary McKinnon fought tooth & nail to avoid extradition to the states, they'd probably have given him life.

Seems grossly disproportionate considering these celebs walk around naked half the time, especially given the trivial sentences for other serious crimes.

On one hand this guy should be hailed as a hero, releasing pics of ScarJo, but on the other hand if he hurt her feelings, the punk deserves life

I agree, seems like a huge amount of time for the crime. However I wouldn't be surprised if its reduced once the whole thing dies down a little.

Waste of taxpayers money keeping people in jail for that long, nobody cares what her boobs look like and they certainly won't care in 10 years time.
Judge obviously had a movement in the trouser department and left his brain on the side.

I care about her boobs.

Although maybe not so much in 10 years time?

+1 it was a joyous day

Useless sentence. I agree he's committed an illegal act but 10 years?

 

[Andelusion]

He took one for the team there, big time

Whether you choose to walk around half naked or not doesn't mean that you should have no privacy.

More than one crime though, its states there is 50 counts of hacking email accounts. 2.5 months per offense.

Wouldn't you think by now that they'd learn the difference between "hacking" and "cracking"?

This.

Talk about over the top prosecution. Iv seen 'actual/physical' crimes give less.

I agree to a degree, but when all you do is thrive for attention flaunting your stuff it's hardly surprising.

I didn't even know that Johanssons jublies had been exposed.


Thanks

Murderers and rapists get less time. Bizarre.

Was going to say this.

Seen rapists get just 6-8 years before. Giving more for breaking into someones phone and copying some photos off it is truly crazy.

He will be hailed as a king amongst bros for a long time. Shame more of the apparent pics he got to never got leaked.

 

[Diagro]

he will be out in 3 years lol

I used to play Asheron's Call with the guy many years ago, and still posted on the same clan forum as him until he got caught, came as a massive surprise to everyone there.

yes but you are comparing 1 criminal act to 50 acts.

had it just have been Scarletts phone/email it would probably have bee a couple of months at the most.
