A former Jacksonville Jaguars employee has been sentenced to 220 years in jail for producing, receiving, and possessing child sex abuse material and hacking into the team's jumbotron.
A former Jacksonville Jaguars employee was sentenced to 220 years in prison for producing child sexual abuse material and hacking the jumbotron at the team's stadium. The team hired Samuel Thompson, of St. Augustine, in 2013 as a contractor to consult on the design and installation of their new video board network and later to operate the jumbotron on gamedays, investigators said.
Thompson is said to have installed remote access software on a spare server in the Jaguars’ server room before his employment ended in March 2018. He was then able to access the computers that controlled the jumobtron during three games in the following season, causing the video boards to malfunction repeatedly.
The FBI executed a search warrant at Thompson’s residence in July 2019 and seized a phone, a tablet and two laptops, which all had been used to access the spare jumbotron server, according to log files. Agents also said they seized a firearm, which Thompson was prohibited from owning as a convicted felon. However, during that raid, the FBI also found thousands of images and hundreds of videos of child sexual abuse on the devices.
