Matt Weiss, a former assistant coach in Michigan and Baltimore Ravenes, admitted that he was not guilty of 24 charges of unauthorized access to computers and strict identity stealing on Monday in a trial in Detroit, according to ESPN.
In a 14 -page indict, prosecutors said that Weiss, 42, was able to reach social media, e -mail and iCloud with about 3,300 sports in universities in most of them in order to download “personal and intimate images that were not publicly shared.”
Wey's alleged crimes – which lasted in 2015, during the Raven against, until the shooting of Michigan in 2023 – include “the damage of the Privacy State” in Michigan, Maryland and Pennsylvania, including a separate charge in California.
Michigan Weiss launched as a coordinator in January 2023 after the university discovered that “inappropriate” computer accounts were reached within the football facility, Schembechler Hall.
Westmont College, a liberal Christian school for liberal arts with 1,200 students overlooking Santa Barbara, California, is one of the institutions that have accounts claiming to be infiltrated by Weiss.
Jason Tavarerez, director of institutional flexibility at the school, said that the FBI contacted the victims associated with Westmont.
“Any information used in this investigation was made with the consent of the victims named in this indictment,” Tavarez said.
“When I was talking to the FBI, they said it was not only and not only two schools.”
Weiss, a married father and Vanderbilt, managed to access data through KEFFER development services, a third party contractor who maintains medical information for about 150,000 athletes in about 100 schools, including and Stemmt, according to the indictment.
Prosecutors said that Weiss kept his victims' observations, including “school affiliation, sports history, and physical characteristics” – as well as notes on “their bodies and sexual preferences” in videos and photos.
ESPN said that two former sports in Michigan, a gymnast player and a football player, filed a collective lawsuit against Weiss, the university, the referees board and Kevir development services because of the alleged breach.
Weiss, who spent 12 seasons with crows, is not imposed on publishing, selling or sharing what he found, and the victims do not smile for money.
His lawyer refused to comment on ESPN after a trial.
Keffer also refused to comment on ESPN.
