Larry Mendte Convicted
« on: November 25, 2008, 10:05:06 AM »
A former US TV news presenter who hacked into a rival's e-mail and leaked gossip to the press has been sentenced to six months under house arrest.

Larry Mendte, 51, was also handed 250 hours of community service and a $5,000 (£3,300) fine. He was sacked in June.

Lawyers for Alycia Lane, 36, said Mr Mendte's actions "destroyed her career and made her a tabloid feeding frenzy".

The pair co-anchored the evening news bulletin on Philadelphia station KYW-TV from 2004 until January 2008.

Mr Mendte admitted hacking into his colleague's e-mail hundreds of times, before and after Miss Lane was dismissed by the broadcaster in January.

Several of Miss Lane's personal e-mails had appeared in the US media, including a message about a sexy bikini shot of herself that she sent to a married ex-colleague.

'Two-year assault'

During the case, Mr Mendte was said to be jealous of his rival's $780,000 (£516,000) annual salary, which was greater than his own.


He told the court: "My role at the station was still being diminished when Alycia told me... that she was the rising star and that I was '50 and on my way out'."

He said: "I felt I was in trouble. My career, my future, my family's future was in trouble. And, this is where I got into more trouble - federal trouble." -BBC
