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."

The same Trump that you're alleging that about, yes. I'd be curious about your thoughts on Hillary Clinton's deliberate and sustained campaign to destroy the reputations of women who allege - in good numbers, and with lots of other people chiming in - that her husband is a serial abuser of women (and his official power in the process) and rapist. Do you inject your defense, or offense, at Hillary's role in preserving her own prospects of political power by smearing the women her husband assaulted ... into other threads here on /.? No? Why not?
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
They're just shooting the wrong democratic pillar.
I honestly think it doesn't matter. I'm as scared of Republicans as the next guy, and I find Trump as odious as the next guy, but I think that if you could look into both universes you'd find that his appointments would be about equally monetarily-motivated as Hillary's.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
The same Trump who didn't fly on the "Lolita Express" like Bill Clinton did 26 times in full knowledge of Hilary Clinton.
The same Trump who did fly to Epstein's "sex slave island" and called him a "terrific guy".
