JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- A Florida man accused of hacking into the personal e-mail accounts of Hollywood celebrities says he plans to plead guilty to all charges.
Christopher Chaney said he knew what he was doing was wrong and he's ready to face the consequences, WAWS-TV, Jacksonville, Fla., reported Wednesday.
"I deeply apologize," said Chaney. "I know what I did was probably the worst invasion of privacy someone could experience. I'm not trying to escape what I did. It was wrong. And I have to just face that and go forward."
Chaney said he hacked the forwarding feature of the e-mail accounts of celebrities including Scarlett Johansson and Christina Aguilera so he received the same messages they did. He said he was merely curious to see "behind the scenes" of Hollywood and never sold any of the pictures or information he found.
"I don't know how my e-mail got a hold of, someone contacted me wanting the pictures," said Chaney. "I don't even know who it was. No, I didn't give that person any pictures. I never wanted to sell or release any images."
