LEESBURG, Va., April 8 (UPI) -- A Virginia judge Friday sentenced a North Carolina spammer to nine years in prison.
Jeremy Jaynes, named one of the world's top spammers by spam watchdog Spamhaus, was convicted in November of using aliases to send more than 10 million e-mails a day. It was the first felony conviction for spamming, Betanews.com reported.
Jaynes, 30, of Raleigh, N.C., allegedly made much as $750,000 per month through his spam operation.
Judge Thomas Horne postponed the sentence while Jaynes' lawyers appeal the ruling, contending the
Virginia law under which he was prosecuted violated his free speech rights.
