The hacker who stole naked pictures of Scarlett Johansson from her phone has apologised for invading her privacy.
Christopher Chaney, 35, was arrested yesterday and admitted to stealing pictures from Scarlett and other celebrities including Mila Kunis and Vanessa Hudgens and posting them on the internet, claiming the hacking had started as a "curiosity" but spiralled out of control when he became addicted to it.
The Florida resident told Fox affiliate WAWS: "I deeply apologise. I know what I did was probably one of the worst invasions of privacy someone could experience. And these people don't have privacy to begin with. And I was in that little sliver of privacy they do have.
"[The hacking] started as a curiosity and it turned into just being addicted to seeing the behind-the-scenes of what's going on with these people you see on the big screen every day.
"It was almost reading, like, a completely uncensored blog. I wasn't saving the emails to blackmail someone.
