Matt Weiss, a former Baltimore Ravens and University of Michigan assistant football coach, faces federal charges for hacking into personal accounts of over 150,000 college athletes to obtain intimate images. His actions, spanning from 2015 to early 2023, involved unauthorized access to databases and personal information. A lawsuit seeks class-action status against the University of Michigan, claiming negligence in supervising Weiss. The indictment highlights Weiss's intent to acquire private materials not meant for public sharing.
"His goal was to obtain private photographs and videos never intended to be shared beyond intimate partners," according to the indictment.
"The university violated its duty by failing to supervise and monitor Weiss and as a result plaintiffs and thousands of others have had their privacy illegally invaded," attorney Parker Stinar said in the lawsuit.
