Minn. man accused of hacking Facebook accounts



A Minnesota man has been charged with identity theft for allegedly hacking into Facebook accounts and stealing photos of women to post on adult websites.
Prosecutors allege Timothy Peter Noirjean would contact the women online and dupe them into providing him with personal information.
Prosecutors say Noirjean would then reset Facebook passwords and pretend to be the account holder, contacting the person's friends to get more information.
He allegedly stole photographs of eight women. And authorities said Wednesday there's nothing they can do to get those photos taken down from sexually explicit websites.
Prosecutors have charged the 26-year-old Woodbury man with 13 counts of identity theft.
It was not immediately clear whether Noirjean had an attorney. A phone message left at his home was not returned
