FBI: Sex Predator Hacked Into Computer To Threaten Girls

Via WFTV.com.

The FBI says it has caught an online sex predator who is more menacing than Central Floridians have ever seen before. He goes beyond trolling chat rooms for young girls and actually hacks into their computers and uses their personal information to threaten them.

The accused hacker got into the computers of four teenage girls, all friends, three from Rockledge. There was one attempt to threaten the hacker back, but it backfired. Investigators said a child should not communicate at all with a suspected hacker.

It all started on MySpace.com, according to federal documents. Records show that was where suspected hacker and child predator Ivory Dickerson, of North Carolina, first saw a 15-year-old girl from Rockledge and then asked her for nude photos.

Investigators said the accused hacker instant messaged her that "he knew where she lived, then provided the address."
