Hollywood hacker sentenced to 10 years Prosecutors recommended a 71-month prison for Chaney, who faced a maximum sentence of 60 years. Prosecutors said Chaney leaked some of the private photos to two celebrity gossip websites and a hacker. Johansson said the photos, which show her topless, were taken for her then-husband, actor Ryan Reynolds. In a video statement shown in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, a tearful Johansson said she was "truly humiliated and embarrassed" when the photos appeared online, asking Judge S. James Otero to come down hard on Chaney. Prosecutors said Chaney also stalked two unnamed Florida women online, one since 1999 when she was 13 years old. Chaney, a native of Jacksonville, Florida, was arrested in October 2011 after an 11-month FBI investigation dubbed "Operation Hackerazzi" and he continued hacking after investigators initially seized his personal computers. Shortly after his arrest, Chaney told a Florida television station that his hacking of celebrity email accounts started as curiosity and later he became "addicted." "I was almost relieved months ago when they came in and took my computer ... because I didn't know how to stop," he said.
