RTE said a man had been arrested about a year ago in relation to the case, and then freed. Presumably they’ve been building a case since, by interviewing the students and looking at the forensics. Very odd, I don’t understand what someone would get out of accessing and downloading student information, as the number of students suggests it wasn’t personal, but not enough to sell on the data for profit either. This could be a very interesting trial.

Seems a very strange case.
He is charged with 50 cases of ‘Harassment ‘ but I dont really understand what is meant by that in this context.
If the accessing the emails isn’t the Harassment, thats the 96 other charges, did he do something with the information he got from their emails? Did he blackmail them or something?
> their personal material was stolen and downloaded.

Why do people wreck their lives over dumb shit?
Like this is supposed to be an educated man, a UCD lecturer FFS. What possible reason does he have to hack 140 students and then think he is going to get away with it.

UCD have a lot to answer for in terms of safeguarding their students. I know this could happen anywhere (and it does) but there seems to be lots coming out recently.

Is this related to the other recent UCD incident that there were protests about a few weeks back, or something completely separate?
