14 DAY TRIAL // Jared James Abrahams, a 19-year-old from Temacula, California, has pleaded guilty to hacking into the computers of several women in an effort to obtain compromising content which he later used to blackmail them.
According to The Press-Enterprise, Abrahams pleaded guilty on Tuesday to four counts of extortion and one count of unauthorized access to a protected computer. As per the plea agreement he made with prosecutors, he faces between 27 and 33 months in prison.
One of the hacker’s victims is Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf. Wolf made the incident public earlier this year just as the FBI was investigating the incident.
Abrahams was arrested in late September. He’s said to have breached the computers of several women from the US, Russia, Canada and Ireland, including a minor.
After hacking into their computers, he obtained private photographs and videos, which he used to extort them. He demanded additional adult videos, pictures and live sessions on Skype.
