Paris Hilton Hacker Jailed  9/15/05

The teenager who hacked into Paris Hilton's mobile phone and published its contents on the internet earlier this year (05) has been sentenced to 11 months in a juvenile correctional facility. 

The accused was a 17-year-old boy from Massachusetts, according to a Washington Post report yesterday (14SEP05), but prosecutors refuse to reveal his identity because he is a juvenile under federal law. Prosecutors did confirm that the boy pleaded guilty to nine counts of juvenile delinquency - including hacking, theft of personal information and making bomb threats to high schools - in Boston's US District Court last week (ends11SEP05). 

During his incarceration and for a further two years after his release, the unnamed boy is prohibited from using computers, mobile phones or any other technologies capable of connecting to the internet.
