A college student was arrested Thursday for allegedly hijacking the webcams of young women -- among them reigning Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf -- taking nude images, then blackmailing his victims to send him more explicit material or else be exposed.
Jared James Abrahams, a 19-year-old computer science student from Temecula, California, surrendered on Thursday to the FBI on federal extortion charges, the agency announced. Authorities say he victimized young women surreptitiously, by taking control of their computers then photographing them as they changed out of their clothes.
Abrahams appeared in court later in the day, then was released 'on intensive pretrial supervision and home detention with electronic monitoring' after his parents signed bond agreements totaling $50,000, FBI spokeswoman Lourdes Arocho said. U.S. District Judge Jean Rosenbluth ruled that he could use a single desktop computer at his parents' home for school only, albeit only after monitoring software is applied.
When he admitted what he'd done in June, Abrahams said he had 30 to 40 'slave computers' -- or other people's electronic devices he controlled -- and has had as many as 150 total, according to a criminal complaint.
His arrest came six months after a teenager identified in court documents as C.W. alerted authorities. She has since publicly identified herself as Cassidy Wolf, the recently crowned Miss Teen USA. She touted news reports of.

A few young women apparently complied with the demands for a Skype session. The man promised not to record the sessions and he made it look like he was erasing the nude pictures of them. One such session was found on the suspect's phone, police said.
Foul-mouthed hacker hijacks baby monitor
Investigators examining e-mail exchanges found one in which an alleged victim wrote she was downloading Skype and pleading, 'Please remember im only 17. Have a heart.'
'I'll tell you this right now! I do NOT have a heart!!!' he wrote back, per the complaint. 'However I do stick to my deals! Also age doesn't mean a thing to me.'
Authorities executed a search warrant at Abrahams' home on June 4, at which time he 'voluntarily agreed to speak' with a pair of FBI agents. Describing himself in that interview as a college freshman who was good with computers, the complaint said, he admitted using malware and his expertise to 'watch his victims change their clothes and ... use the photographs against them.'
Abrahams further admitted the e-mail accounts, VPN, domain names or other pieces of the electronic puzzle that investigators used to build a case were his, according to the criminal complaint.
Outside the court Thursday, Abrahams' lawyer Alan Eisner said that his client's family feels 'profound regret and remorse' over what happened. He told CNN affiliate KTLA that
