Celebgate’ Hacker Gets 18 Months in Prison for Hacking Celebrity Photos

Ryan Collins, 36, sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for hacking celebrity accounts. He stole photos of Jennifer Lawrence, Kim Kardashian, Kate Upton, Rihanna, Avril Lavigne and Gabrielle Union. Another suspect, Edward Majerczyk, pleaded guilty in July and charged with hacking 300 Gmail and iCloud accounts. Authorities have yet to identify the uploader or ‘leaker’ of the photographs stolen by Collins and Majerczy. Collins faced a maximum of five years in prison, but prosecutors proposed a lighter sentence of only 18 months.
