Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, 22, pleaded guilty to offenses tied to his administration of BreachForums and possession of child sexual abuse material. Fitzpatrick was arrested in 2023 at his parents' home in Peekskill, New York, and violated pretrial conditions by using a VPN, resulting in brief jailing. A 2024 sentence of 17 days time served plus 20 years supervised release drew appellate criticism for leniency. Judge Paul Niemeyer found the original punishment insufficient given BreachForums' scale and the severity of the crimes. Prosecutors won a resentencing appeal, and Fitzpatrick was sentenced to three years in prison.
