Creep Admits Miss Teen Sextortion

Miss California Teen USA 2013 Cassidy Wolf is crowned Miss Teen USA 2013 at Paradise Island, Bahamas. Computer science student Jared James Abrahams, 19, pleaded guilty Tuesday for hacking the computers of Miss Teen USA and other young women, secretly photographing them and threatening to post the pictures online if they didn’t send him more naked photos. Abrahams answered a series of questions from U.S. District Judge James Selna, including an explanation of the crimes that were committed, in federal court in Santa Ana, Calif. “I hacked several girls’ computers and, using their webcams, took photos of them when they weren’t aware,” Abrahams said meekly.
