38-year old Paul Franco of New York allegedly hacked into his girlfriend’s Facebook account and demanded ransom to allow her to re-assume control of her profile.
Account owner Jessica Zamora-Anderson, 30, alleged that apart from the many changes he made to her personal information in the account, he changed her sexual preference to gay and accepted various requests for relationship with women.
According to the the New York Post, she said she met Franco on Facebook in November 2008 and claims to be repeatedly mistreated physically by Franco during their relationship.
She also told the source that she even after repeated attempts to end their relationship, she failed because of fears that Franco would release a sex tape of them that he claim to have made.
Franco didn’t received any cash from Anderson for hijacking the account, but was instead charged with coercion and harassment after his girlfriend went to the police.
