A hacker who stole several sexually explicit photos and videos of celebrities, as well as unpublished TV and film scripts, has been sentenced to five years in prison. The hacker, identified as Alonzo Knowles, was sentenced by a New York City federal court after pleading guilty to the charges of hacking.

The 24-year-old hacker's sentence is nearly doubled as suggested in the federal guideline since the judge saw him to be "devoid of remorse." Reports claimed that Knowles was apologetic when he pleaded guilty. However, New York Judge Paul A. Engelmayer said that the defendant's behavior while in jail suggested otherwise.

During his hacking spree, Knowles was able to get his hands on a copy of 25 unreleased TV and film scripts, banking details, and explicit videos and images, according to BBC. One of the stolen scripts was for a planned biographical film about Tupac Shakur entitled "All Eyez on Me."

According to The Verge, the Bureau of Prisons monitored some of Knowles emails in which he detailed his plans to write a book in which he will spill all the secrets he was able to get his hands on from the private email accounts he hacked.

In one of his emails, Knowles wrote, "Everyone loves gossip. I cant wait to get out i already know how the cover is gonna look."

Knowles also detailed his plan to hack into Twitter accounts in order to promote the book he is going to write. He also wrote that he plans to sell his book at $35 per copy.

Based on this evidence, Judge Engelmayer said that releasing Knowles will simply allow him to commit the same crime he had committed, which is why the judge quadrupled the 14-month sentence that Knowles' lawyer initially asked for.
