TRENTON – A Hamilton man was sentenced today for accessing a woman’s email account and retrieving nude photos of her without her authorization, Attorney General Anne Milgram and Criminal Justice Director Deborah L. Gramiccioni announced.

Mario Esposito, 21, of Hamilton, Mercer County, was sentenced to four years of probation by Superior Court Judge Gerald J. Council in Mercer County. He was also ordered to perform 200 hours of community service. Esposito pleaded guilty on Oct. 29 to an accusation charging him with third-degree computer criminal activity. The charge resulted from an investigation by the New Jersey State Police Cyber-Crimes Unit.

Judge Council ordered that Esposito not use the Internet during his period of probation except for employment or school purposes, and he is prohibited from having any contact with the victim. Esposito was ordered to forfeit a computer, a cell phone and an Ipod seized in the investigation.

In pleading guilty, Esposito admitted that between May 17 and June 13 of 2008, he logged into the Yahoo! email account of the 19-year-old victim without her authorization and accessed email files containing personal photographs. The State Police investigation determined that he copied nude photographs of her from her email files into his own computer files.

Deputy Attorney General Mark A. Murtha prosecuted the case and handled today’s sentencing for the Division of Criminal Justice Computer Analysis and Technology Unit. The case was investigated by Detective Sgt. John F. Gorman and Detective Brian Kearns of the New Jersey State Police Cyber-Crimes Unit.

Esposito was arrested on June 13, when State Police detectives executed a search warrant at his home and seized his home computer.
