A court in the US state of Connecticut sentenced George Garofalo, 26, to eight months in prison, who four years ago was the organizer of a leaked photo of nude Jennifer Lawrence.

In addition to the Oscar-winning actress, the victims of the hacker attack were also Kate Upton and Kirsten Dunst.

It is interesting that the man admitted his guilt four years ago, but he was charged only now, reports The Guardian..

First, the court of Bridgeport County wanted to condemn Garofalo to 10-16 months in prison, because his actions were recognized as an intolerable invasion of privacy.

But in court, the hacker stated that he "bears full responsibility" for what happened and understands that he made a huge mistake, which he regrets every day ". Therefore, the defense asked him to mitigate his sentence.

As a result, after serving an 8-month term, Garofalo will remain under the supervision of law enforcement officers for another three years.

Recall last year, one of the accomplices Garofalo, 29-year-old Edward Maerchik received a sentence of 9 to 18 months in prison.
