GLENDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- Federal agents Tuesday arrested a Glendale man suspected of hacking into hundreds of online accounts and extorting more than 350 women into showing him their naked bodies.


Karen "Gary" Kazaryan, 27, was arrested without incident by special agents with the FBI on federal computer hacking charges. He was indicted on 15 counts of computer intrusion and 15 counts of aggravated identity theft.


According to the indictment, Kazaryan hacked into the women's Facebook, Skype and email accounts. He then changed the passwords to lock victims out of their own accounts and then searched emails or other files for naked or seminaked photos of the victims. He then posed as a friend, persuading them to strip while he watched via Skype, captured images of them, or both.

In some cases, he's accused of posting the nude photos to the victims' Facebook pages when they refused his demands...
