Military Contractor Accused Of Hacking For Nude Teen Photos

Published: March 17, 2009
ORLANDO - A U.S. military contractor in Iraq has been arrested and charged with hacking into teenage girls' computers in America to coerce them into sending sexually explicit photos of themselves.
Federal authorities in Orlando say if victims refused, Patrick Connolly threatened to reveal personal information gathered from hacking into their computers.
Court documents show Connolly is from Ireland, but has been living on the U.S. military base in Baghdad. He was arrested last week in Atlanta on computer hacking charges and was expected to be transported to Orlando.
Investigators were aided by a North Carolina man arrested in 2006, who claimed he helped Connolly break into computers.
