Samuel Arthur Thompson, a former Jacksonville Jaguars employee, was sentenced to 220 years in prison for producing child sex abuse material and hacking the team's Jumbotron.
Thompson was convicted on charges including possessing, receiving, and producing child sex abuse material, violating sex offender registration requirements, sending damaging commands to a protected computer, and possessing a firearm as a felon.
He installed remote access software on a spare server in the Jaguars’ server room before his contract ended in 2018, allowing him to control the Jumbotron remotely during three games.
