The man who hacked into Jennifer Lawrence’s iCloud account in 2014 and leaked nude photos of her was sentenced to eight months in prison, reports E! News. George Garofano will also spend three additional years on supervised release, as ordered by Connecticut Judge Victor A. Bolden.

Naked and scantily-clad photos of Jennifer Lawrence and several other celebrities, including Kirsten Dunst and Kate Upon, surfaced in 2014. At the time, Lawrence’s rep said that the leaked photos were “a flagrant violation of privacy” and announced that authorities had been contacted, adding that anyone who posted the stolen photos would be prosecuted.

Many other celebrities have been victims of photo hacking and leaking. In 2013, Christopher Chaney received 10 years in prison for leaking nude photos of Scarlet Johansson and Mila Kunis. He had also previously gained access to files from other celebrities, including Jessica Alba, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and Miley Cyrus, and posted them online.
