The computer science college student who hacked into the webcams of dozens of women's computers and attempted to extort them into sending him nude photos was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison.Jared James Abrahams, 20, of Temecula, Calif., was arrested in November and pleaded guilty to one count of computer hacking and three counts of extortion, the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles said.Abrahams targeted a number of women, including Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf, whom he knew from high school. He would take control of the social media and email accounts belonging to the women, and took naked photos of them using their computers' web cams.
