It is a disheartening situation with nudes of a celebrity leak. Now it seems they have found one of the men who is responsible for all of that noise. A Pennsylvania man has agreed to plead guilty to hacking into email and online more than 100 Google and Apple accounts, many belonging to famous women, between November 2012 and September 2014 and stole private information including nude photos and videos.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles announced Tuesday that Ryan Collins of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has agreed to plead guilty to one count of gaining unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information.
Jennifer Lawrence Says Hackers Who Leaked Nude Photos Committed a ‘Sex Crime’. An investigation into who stole and posted images of Lawrence and dozens of other female stars is ongoing for now.
Prosecutors say the 36-year-old was charged as part of an investigation into the posting of nude photos of numerous celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and model Kate Upton but they do not have any evidence Collins posted any of the images he stole, regardless, Collins was charged as part of an investigation into the posting of nude photos of numerous celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and model Kate Upton.
Collins used a scheme called phishing in which he was able to get victims to provide information about their accounts in response to emails that appeared to come directly from Apple and Google, according to prosecutors. In some instances, he was able to obtain all the files his victims had stored online, including nude photos and videos.
The real question here is if he will be doing time. Well, back in February, an Oregon man agreed to plead guilty to stealing nude or explicit images from 13 people, including some unidentified celebrities. Andrew Helton of Astoria, Oregon, faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced June 2. Comparing these two cases together, Collins can also be facing a similar situation.
