Now the L.A. County prosecutor's office has announced an indictment against a woman who hacked actress and singer Selena Gomez's email account on multiple occasions and shared some of what she found.

Deputy District Attorney Ben Forer from the office’s Cyber Crime Division told reporters: “The defendant is accused of accessing the victims’ accounts several times from June 2015 through February 2016. She then allegedly obtained stored media that she posted online and shared with other people.
