High-tech Voyeur Used Laptop Webcams to Secretly Spy on Women

A student at the University of Florida has been arrested and charged with computer tampering and faces possible prison time for allegedly installing software on women's computers that allowed him to secretly take photos of his unsuspecting victims. The sordid tale began when Marisel Garcia took her laptop to Graig Feigin for repair. A few weeks later she began having issues with low battery life and noticed the laptop's camera light came on every time she came near the computer. This time she took the machine to a trusted friend who discovered Feigin has installed software that allowed him to upload photos taken by the laptop to a remote machine, some 20,000 all told - and the laptop was in her bedroom. When Feigin was questioned by police he wasted no time in rolling over and copped to pulling the same stunt on 8 or 9 additional women's computers as well.
