The Valley's 'Revenge Porn' King Sentenced to Prison

A Studio City man was sentenced today to two years in federal prison for hacking into women’s email accounts to steal nude photos that were later posted on a “revenge porn” website.

Charles “Gary Jones” Evens, 26, was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release following his 25-month prison term and pay a $2,000 fine, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The sentencing hearing in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee was closed to the public.

Evens pleaded guilty in July to charges of computer hacking and identity theft.

Prosecutors said Evens admitted obtaining nude photos that were posted on the now-inoperative IsAnyoneUp.com site.

The operator of the site, Hunter Moore, 29, of Woodland, near Sacramento, pleaded guilty to the same charges as Evens and is expected to be sentenced next week.

The website featured nude and sexually explicit photos that had been submitted without permission of the people depicted in the images.

Moore paid Evens upwards of $200 a week to break into women’s email accounts and steal nude photos of them, which were posted on the site, federal prosecutors said.

Evens was ordered to turn himself in Jan. 29 to begin serving his prison term.
