Edison (New Jersey) teen gets 5 years for attacks on Web sites
A story by Lonnie Mack in the Home News Tribune of Middlesex County (Central New Jersey) reports that:
A 17-year-old Edison boy has been sentenced to five years in prison for causing online attacks on commercial Web sites that authorities say cost the victims more than $1.5 million.
The sentence was imposed on Jasmine Singh yesterday by Judge Frederick DeVesa in Superior Court, New Brunswick.
Singh pleaded guilty earlier this year to two counts of computer theft for causing the attacks against Web sites selling sports jerseys and other sporting goods.
DeVesa also ordered Singh to pay $35,000 in restitution, the amount agreed upon by Singh's attorney, Lawrence Bitterman, and Deputy State Attorney General Kenneth Sharpe.
