SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A California man who trolled women's Facebook pages searching for clues that allowed him to take over their email accounts was sentenced Friday to more than four years in state prison.
Once he took over women's email accounts, George Bronk searched their folders for nude or semi-nude photographs or videos sent to their husbands or boyfriends and distributed the images to their contact list, prosecutors said. The emails went to families, friends and coworkers. Women in 17 states, the District of Columbia and England were victimized.
Bronk, 23, pleaded guilty in January to charges that included computer intrusion, false impersonation and possession of child pornography.
Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Lawrence Brown sentenced him to four years in state prison for the charges related to the Facebook and email offenses, and added eight more months for charges related to child pornography.
