Guy Behind The Fappening arrested, could face 5 Years in Prison

[Lethal]

The feds have nabbed one of the cyberfiends involved in the “Celebgate” hack that resulted in intimate pictures of stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Christina Hendricks and Anna Kendrick getting posted online.

Ryan Collins, 36, of Lancaster, Pa., agreed to plead guilty to a felony violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and unauthorized access to a protected computer.

He faces between 18 months and five years in prison.

Federal prosecutors say Collins used a phishing scheme to get illegal access to over 100 Apple and Google e-mail accounts, many of them belonging to female celebrities.

“By illegally accessing intimate details of his victims' personal lives, Mr. Collins violated their privacy and left many to contend with lasting emotional distress, embarrassment and feelings of insecurity,” said David Bowdich, the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.

Martyr for a glorious cause, IMO.

It's a pretty serious crime, surprised it's only five years.

I wonder if all his money is offshore because he's about to be sued back to the stone age.

The prosecution will recommend the judge an 18-month prison sentence, although it will not be binding on the sentencing judge.

It's a shame this is all he gets. But he didn't admit to releasing the pictures, just accessing them privately. So he's just getting nabbed for illegal access.

Emilio Herrera is the target of the actual release it seems. So Ryan Collins could have built his own private spank bank, but then when the fappening photo release happened and Feds started investigating they found Collins IP popping up in their investigations.

On one hand, what he did was really despicable and a real slime ball move.

On the other hand, fap fap fap.
