Alleged 'Revenge Porn King' Arrested for Suspicion of Hacking

Accused of trying to steal naked pictures for their site

|

Hunter Moore, dubbed by many as the "king of revenge porn," and another man were arrested Thursday on suspicion of hacking into email accounts to steal sexually explicit photos of their alleged victims.

Moore's site quickly became an online gallery of nakedness, one many musicians feared as hundreds of nude photos of hard rock band members were posted.

Moore, 27, of Woodland, and Charles Evens, 25, of Studio City were arrested by federal authorities without incident and expected to appear in court Thursday — Moore in Sacramento and Evens in Los Angeles.
