Finally
Quote:
An Abbotsford man has been charged with hacking the computer of "a local, well known celebrity", according to Vancouver Police. It has been reported that this celebrity is Mission-born pop star Carly Rae Jepsen.
On Tuesday, the Vancouver Police announced that Christopher David Long, a 25-year-old from Abbotsford, had been charged with fraudulently obtaining telecommunications services, unauthorized use of computer, mischief to data, identity fraud, and possession of stolen property.
Long surrendered to police on Friday, December 7th, at the Abbotsford Court House. He has been released and will appear in court January 4th, 2013.
Fake nude photos of the 26-year-old "Call Me Maybe" singer surfaced online in the summer, as well as a sex tape the pop star was quick to deny was her.
"Crazy morning," she tweeted, when the video began to spread. "Discovered that someone put up a sex tape claiming to be me. Ridiculous. Obviously not me."
By then, however, VPD were already months into an investigation after Jepsen told police she had been the victim of a real hacker, who had stolen nude photos from her computer and was attempting to sell them to various media outlets.
Jepsen, who was nominated for two Grammys last week, is currently on tour in Europe and has not been reached for comment.
