Britain's judiciary says that a 21-year-old sentenced last week for hacking into a U.S.-based Facebook account accessed the page belonging to teen actress Selena Gomez, who is the girlfriend of pop idol Justin Bieber.
Gareth Crosskey was jailed for 12 months Wednesday after pleading guilty to crimes under Britain's Computer Misuse Act. His victim wasn't identified at the time, but The Sun newspaper named her as Gomez.
The tabloid said Crosskey posted the words "Justin Bieber sucks" to her Facebook page, prompting a ******* of abuse from the singer's fans. It also said Crosskey claimed to have intercepted messages between the pair.
Britain's judicial official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with office rules, confirmed Tuesday that The Sun's story was accurate.
Gomez's representatives did not immediately return emails.
"Justin Bieber sucks" ? I don't condone hacking into people's accounts by any means but if you're gonna do it at least say something better than what a primary school child could come up with how pathetic.

Don't flatter yourself, one particularly uncouth member of the public does not represent our entire population thank you very much Most of us are too busy having lunch with the Queen, drinking tea and going on adventures with Doctor Who to be too obsessed over Americans 'celebrities'.
