Kentucky Anonymous Member Indicted Three Years After FBI Raid (arstechnica.com)
A federal grand jury has indicted "KYAnonymous" -- more than three years after FBI agents raided and searched his home -- and charged him under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. An anonymous Slashdot reader quotes an article from Ars Technica:
After The New York Times published an account [late in 2012] of a horrific rape against a teenage girl in Steubenville, Ohio, an online vigilante campaign was started...the campaign targeted local officials who the vigilantes felt weren't prosecuting the rape investigation seriously because the alleged perpetrators were high school football players... Two teenage boys ended up being charged, and when the case went to trial in March 2013, the two were convicted of rape and sentenced to one to two years in prison.
The indictment says Deric Lostutter "knowingly and intentionally joined and voluntarily participated in a conspiracy" to "harass and intimidate and to gain publicity for their online identities," according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. "If convicted in the Kentucky case, Lostutter could face a maximum penalty of 16 years in prison (no more than five years on each of three counts, and one year on a fourth)..."
"The federal search warrant of Lostutter's home listed 'Guy Fawkes masks' among the items agents were looking for."

Instead of hacking, put down the sword. He who lives by the sword will die by the sword. The things of this world do not matter in eternity. The important choice is Heaven or Hell, and our Lord hopes that we will all choose Heaven. Jesus says you must repent and be born again. Turn away from hacking and other crime, and choose salvation by repenting and being born again.
Instead of Raping, put down the Penis. He who lives by the Penis will die by the Penis. The things of this world do not matter in eternity. The important choice is Heaven or Hell, and our Lord hopes that we will all choose Heaven. Jesus says you must repent and be born again. Turn away from Raping and other crime, and choose salvation by repenting and being born again.
FTFY
Leave it to the religious nuts to defend Rape. It's in the Bible after all. Jesus also taught civil disobedience when the law of man disagreed with the law of the Bible. But in this case both the Law AND the Bible are incorrect about Rape.
~ People that think they are better than anyone else for any reason are the cause of all the strife in the world.
Yep, we have one candidate whose husband is a rapist and abuser of women, and she viciously attacks his victims.
We have another candidate who thinks a guy with a sex slave island is a terrific guy.
Great choice we have here.
When the system ends up giving us these as our two choices, you know the system needs to be completely overhauled because it can't get much more broken than this.
