En 29-årig man har dömts till sex månaders fängelse för att ha kapat ett stort antal kändisars privata konton och bland annat stulits nakenbilder. Bilderna publicerades sedermera på nätet.
29-åringen misstänks däremot inte för att ha publicerat bilderna. Publiceringen gjordes av en 36-årig bekant som redan erkänt sig skyldig de det brottet.
Andrew Helton, the man responsible for hacking hundreds of email accounts and stealing nude photos from unspecified celebrities, was sentenced to six months in federal prison on Thursday, according to the Associated Press.
Helton, 29, plead guilty in February to stealing 161 nude photos from 13 people, including celebrities, however, authorities said they do not believe Helton leaked any of the images he stole. Nude images of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and many other female stars that were widely circulated online August 2014 are believed to have been leaked from another source since Helton was arrested in 2013 (Ryan Collins, 36, pled guilty in March to charges in connection with what the internet dubbed The Fappening).
