Scarlett Johansson hacker suspect allegedly stalked woman

Announcement of the arrest of Christopher Chaney, 35

Working from his home computer in Jacksonville, Fla., authorities say, Christopher Chaney, 35, allegedly hacked into the email accounts of several celebrities. Authorities say he did it the hard way. Mining details of the stars’ personal lives in celebrity magazines and websites as well as Twitter and Facebook posts, Chaney looked for potential passwords that would give him access to their accounts, the FBI said.

But new court records obtained by the Associated Press say that Chaney had been chatting online with a Connecticut woman since she was 13 years old.

The woman said in the documents that Chaney caused her "serious emotional distress" by taking photos and other materials he hacked from her computer and posting them on porn websites, according to AP.
