Man pleads guilty in hacking case

An Ocoee man pleaded guilty Thursday to hacking the Clinton Foundation in pursuit of a conspiracy theory that the organization might be funding jihadist groups. Timothy Sedlak, 43, faces up to five years in federal prison on computer hacking charges. Prosecutors say he tried to access the computers at the organization by trying to log into employees’ email accounts hundreds of thousands of times in 2015, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. While searching his computers, federal prosecutors found more than 400 images of child pornography, court documents show. Sedlak recently was sentenced to 42 years in prison after conviction on child pornography charges. He’s slated for sentencing in the hacking case in June.
