Hypnotist Used ‘Insidious Tactics’ to Steal and Sell Women’s Nudes for Crypto
A stage hypnotist has been sentenced to eight months in prison for stealing a woman’s identity and illegally downloading and selling nudes of two other women he hacked on social media.
Robert Temple, a U.K. comedian known for his hypnotism shows, was convicted in a British courtroom of three counts of fraud, two counts of hacking, and one count of concealment of criminal property.
He admitted on Monday that he hacked into the Snapchat accounts of two women to download their nude and topless photos, which he then sold for cryptocurrency.
