Cyprus online voyeur gets 4 years for harassment

Cyprus


The 47-year-old was found guilty of installing "Trojan
Horse" software in the computer of a 17-year-old he met in an
online chatroom. Prosecutors said he sent the girl malware as
an email attachment, which he used to switch on her webcam
remotely.


The defendant then watched the girl without her knowledge
over an extended period of time. She told her parents when he
traced her mobile number and started to harass her.


A district court in the capital Nicosia sentenced the man


on Monday after a trial held in camera to conceal the
identity of the girl, who was under the legal age consent of 18
when the case was reported in 2005.
