LOS ANGELES - A Southern California man was sentenced Thursday to six years in prison for infiltrating computers belonging to women and teenage girls where he found sexually explicit photos and threatening to put them online unless they provided him with more.
In sentencing Luis Mijangos, 32, of Santa Ana, U.S. District Judge George King called the crimes a form of cyber-terrorism and warned other hackers they will meet stiff penalties for ruining people's lives.
"Society has to understand that if you engage in this type of behavior, it's no joke," King said. "You are going to jail and going to jail for a long time."
Mijangos, who pleaded guilty to one count each of computer hacking and wiretapping in March, grimaced when King handed down the sentence. Tears began to well in his eyes. Earlier, he apologized for what he had done.
'"Society has to understand that if you engage in this type of behavior, it's no joke," King said. "You are going to jail and going to jail for a long time."'
ReplyDeletei know this quote is supposed to be directed at the hacker, but i think it should be applied to the pervs too!
Yet girls and women are "Sexting" images of themselves all the time to boyfriends and lovers.

And you can't grasp the difference? Lord.
Women want their lovers to see them, not some sneaky stalking pervert.
