A Temecula teen diagnosed with autism is accused of hacking into several women’s computers in an attempt to extort nude pictures of them — one of those women being Miss Teen USA, Cassidy Wolf.

Suspect Jared James Abrahams, 19, surrendered to the FBI on Thursday and will likely face federal charges.
Abrahams allegedly hacked into Wolf’s webcam, and then sent her an anonymous email threatening to go public with the webcam shots if she didn’t provide nude pictures of herself.
Wolf went to authorities – who had been investigating a string of “sextortion” cases since March. The FBI said there are other victims in Riverside County, as well as in other countries such as Ireland, Canada, Russiam and Moldova.
Abrahams and Wolf apparently went to the same high school, and both graduated in 2012.
