Jennifer Lawrence’s Nude Photos: Man Who Leaked Star’s Private Photos Sentenced To Prison

When Jennifer Lawrence’s nude photos were leaked online in 2014, social media descended into madness.

Jennifer Lawrence wasn’t the only celebrity whose photos were exposed against her will, however. The actress’ breach of privacy happened in connection to a larger leak that exposed the nude photos of celebrities including Hope Solo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Kate Upton, though it was probably not any consolation.

Edward Majerczyk, the Chicago man responsible for hacking and distributing the photos, including Jennifer Lawrence’s nudes, has just been sentenced to nine months in prison.

According to the The Guardian, Ed played a key role in illegally gaining access to Jennifer’s nude photos by using an email phishing scheme.

Apparently Majerczyk, under the front of being an internet service provider, emailed his victims asking for their various login information, which he eventually used to gain access to people’s private photos. Of the roughly 300 total victims, some of which he knew personally, 30 were celebrities.

In 2016, he pleded guilty to “one count of unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information.

Now, he will pay restitution and serve time behind bars. In addition to his nine-month prison sentence, Edward Majerczyk is required to pay back $5700 an unnamed celebrity victim spent to undergo counseling to deal with the embarrassment.

Edward Majerczyk will pay for his crimes, as far as the law goes. But to Jennifer Lawrence and the other celebrities that were affected, this nine-month sentence probably doesn’t feel like justice is being served, especially since this crime can have a maximum sentence of up to five years.
