Man to admit celebrity hacking

A man has agreed to plead guilty to hacking into the email accounts of celebrities such as Christina Aguilera, Mila Kunis and Scarlett Johansson, whose nude photos eventually landed on the internet, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles.

Christopher Chaney, 35, of Jacksonville, Florida, will plead guilty on Monday to nine counts, including unauthorised access to a computer and wiretapping, the documents say. He faces up to 60 years in prison.
