Hacker Who Leaked Scarlett Johansson Pics Gets 10 Years

A Florida man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for hacking into email accounts belonging to actresses Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis, singer Christina Aguilera, and other celebrities.

During a hearing yesterday in Los Angeles, U.S. District Judge S. James Otero sentenced Christopher Chaney to 120 months in prison and ordered him to pay $66,179 in restitution. Otero said Chaney's actions demonstrated a "callous disregard to the victims."

Chaney, a 36-year-old Jacksonville resident, stole nude photos, scripts, financial information, and other personal data from the email accounts of more than 50 celebrities. The judge yesterday heard a videotaped statement from an emotional Johansson, according to a report from the Associated Press.

"I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed," Johansson said, according to the AP. "I find Christopher Chaney's actions to be perverted and reprehensible."

Police in October , who was charged with accessing protected computers without authorization, damaging protected computers without authorization, wiretapping, and aggravated identity theft. He previously pleaded guilty to charges of wiretapping and unauthorized access to a computer.

According to the indictment, Chaney used various online aliases and trolled the Web for personal information about the celebs he hacked. He used that information to access their email accounts, and often found new victims by perusing a celebrity's address book.

Prosecutors said Chaney altered the administrative settings on victims' accounts so that copies of their emails were forwarded to an account he set up, even after the victims changed their passwords. If he found anything newsworthy, like the naked photos of Johansson that made the rounds, he would offer to sell them to celebrity blogs.

In addition to the celebrity hacks, prosecutors said Chaney stalked two women he knew for more than 10 years, and sent nude photos of a former co-worker to her father. Chaney apologized in court, though he denied sending naked photos of a woman to her relatives.

After his release, Chaney will be placed on three years of supervised probation, and will have to notify officials of his online accounts.
