Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis and Christina Aguilera were the victims of a hacker who stole personal nude photos of the celebrities and posted them online. The 35-year-old Jacksonville, Florida, resident Christopher Chaney was sentenced to 10 years in jail by a federal judge.
Scarlett Johansson emailed nude photos of herself to her then husband, Ryan Reynolds, which was hacked into and then leaked online. Johansson's videotaped a statement regarding the matter and it was played in U.S. District Court on Monday.
"I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed," said Scarlett Johansson. "I find Christopher Chaney's actions to be perverted and reprehensible."
Meanwhile, photos that were found on Kunis' phone included topless pictures of Justin Timberlake and an image of Mila in the bath.
Singer Christina Aguilera, whose email was also hacked, taped a similar message to the court: "That feeling of security can never be given back and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy."
Chaney has admitted that from at least November 2010 to October 2011, he hacked into the email accounts of Johansson, Kunis and others by taking their email addresses, clicking on the "Forgot your password?" feature and then resetting the passwords by correctly answering their security questions using publicly available information he found by searching the Internet.
