Facebook hacker sentenced to prison time

By: Denis J. O'Malley
An Old Forge man accused of hacking into a woman's email account and posting a nude picture of her to her Facebook page was sentenced to a minimum of six months in prison on Wednesday.
David Sica, 25, of 613 Hickory St., Old Forge, turned himself in to the Lackawanna County district attorney's office in December after an investigation found he had hacked a woman's email account and posted the photos of her to her page.
Mr. Sica also hacked into a second victim's email account and downloaded nude pictures of her that she had sent to her boyfriend.
Judge Vito P. Geroulo sentenced Mr. Sica on Wednesday to six to 23 months incarceration in the Lackawanna County Prison for the two counts of stalking charged against him.
Further, Judge Geroulo ordered Mr. Sica to serve one year of probation after his release and also banned him from using a computer for one year starting Wednesday.
"I cannot see any acceptable reason for the conduct you used here," Judge Geroulo said. "It's almost incalculable how far this can go. ... How can their hurt ever be undone?"
