Miley Cyrus

The FBI is defending its poor performance of their criminal investigation into hacker, Josh Holly, 20, the perv that broke into teen singer Miley Cyrus’email/cell phone account and posted half nude photos of her all over the internet.

Computer intrusion
Computer abuse
Harassment
Cyberstalking
Copyright infringement (she took the pics, therefore it's an automatic copyright under Berne)
Threatening a minor
Wire fraud
Distributing child porn
