Scarlett Nude Picture Hacker Jailed

The sentence was passed by a US judge after they watched a tearful statement from the 'Lost In Translation' star.

U.S. District Judge S. James Otero told the defendant: "It's hard to fathom the mindset of a person who would accomplish all of this. These types of crimes are as pernicious and serious as physical stalking."

In response, Chaney said: "I don't know what else to say other than I'm sorry. I could be sentenced to never use a computer again and I wouldn't care."

Prosecutors said he accessed the private email and phone accounts of over 50 celebrities including Christina Aguilera and Mila Kunis.
