Idiotic Love Triangle Earns Man Hacking Charges

Stephen Hailes, 48, from Matson, Gloucester, UK, got jealous because his online honey, who was married, was flirting with other men online. He found this out by hacking into her Hotmail account. As revenge, he sends nude photos of her, which she had previously sent to him, to everyone on her contact list.

Now Stephen is facing jail time.

From SMH.com.au here:

A UK man is facing jail after he emailed pictures of his lover to everyone in her address book when he found out she was flirting with other men.

Stephen Hailes, 48, had been in an “internet romance” with Karen Parker, 36, after the pair met in a chat room last August. During the romance Parker, a married mother-of-two, sent a series of nude pictures of herself to Hailes, a former tree surgeon.

Hailes became angry after he hacked into Parker’s email account and discovered she was flirting with other men.

To get revenge he forwarded the lurid pictures to all the contacts in her email address book, a court heard. Hailes, who never met Parker in person, has pled guilty to sending indecent images by a public communication network.

Hailes said he only meant to send the photos to Parker’s husband and had accidentally clicked the wrong button.

See if you can count the ways these people FAIL in life, technology and common sense.

1. Parker had an easily guessed password
2. Hailes supposedly can’t operate email at all if he forwarded the email to everyone.
3. Parker is married and flirting online
4. Parker took photos of herself nude
5. Parker put photos of herself on the internet.
6. Hailes was shocked that a whore would do whorish things
7. Hailes broke the law in a fit of jealousy.

Did I miss anything? This sounds similar to the case of a Missouri man in this post here.
