The FBI launched an investigation into the hacked photos in September 2014, in what became to be known as “Celebgate.”

Lol, no. Flat-out BIG lie.

It was called "the Fappening."

My, my the FBI can actually investigate things. Who would have thought? Guess the perp didn't have any political power.

Now if the victims had been little people like us...

Investigators said that they have not uncovered any evidence linking Collins to the actual leaks of the photos or that he shared or uploaded the information he obtained.

Just damn.

I’d like to see nudes of Jennifer Lawrence, Ariana Grande, Kate Upton, and others

The media gave much more play to just what content was hacked (even going so far as to print the photos with censored spots over the explicit bits).

So much for denying press to “hacked” information.

Authorities said that Collins engaged in a phishing scheme to obtain user names and passwords. He then sent emails that appeared to be from Apple or Google and asked users to provide user names or passwords.

Investigators said that he would use a software program to download the entire contents of victims’ Apple iCloud backups and that he also ran a modeling scam in which he tricked some into sending him nude photos.

Wow.

I understand that one can view pictures of naked women for free on the internet. He must have been going to all this effort largely for the thrill of tricking people.

While a PA man got eighteen months hard time, a PA woman, the Attorney General of PA, got ten months in a county clink for FOUR felonies including perjury and revealing grand jury deliberations.
