A Lancaster, Pennsylvania man has agreed to plead guilty to hacking into the email and online accounts of several female celebrities and stealing private information, including nude photos and videos, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday. Ryan Collins, 36, is accused of gaining access to more than 100 Google and Apple accounts , many belonging to famous women, between November 2012 and September 2014. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania, man agreed to plead guilty to one count of gaining unauthorized access to a protected computer to obtain information, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. Collins used a scheme called phishing in which he was able to get victims to provide information about their accounts in response to emails that appeared to come directly from Apple and Google, according to prosecutors. In some instances, he was able to obtain all the files his victims had stored online, including nude photos and videos. No celebrities are identified in a plea agreement filed Tuesday. There is no evidence Collins posted any of the pilfered images online, the U.S. Attorney’s Office stated. Collins was charged as part of an investigation into the posting of nude photos of numerous celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and model Kate Upton, but he is not suspected of being involved in releasing those images, a news release stated. Attorney information for Collins was not immediately available. An investigation into who stole and posted images of Lawrence and dozens of other female stars is ongoing. In February, an Oregon man agreed to plead guilty to stealing nude or explicit images from 13 people, including some unidentified celebrities. Andrew Helton of Astoria, Oregon, faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced June 2. Authorities have said Helton is not suspected of being involved in the theft of the images of Lawrence and others. Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles have gotten convictions of several men accused of stealing nude images, including images of Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis. They also prosecuted the man who surreptitiously videotaped television sports reporter Erin Andrews in her hotel room and posted the video online. Michael David Barrett was sentenced to 27 months in prison in that case.

The state House is expected to vote as soon as today on a bill to legalize medical marijuana in Pennsylvania. The measure would have to go back to the Senate, but Governor Wolf and other supporters of medical marijuana were already celebrating Tuesday. The House Monday overwhelmingly approved a wide-ranging amendment to a Senate medical marijuana bill and the House is now poised to take a final vote on the amended bill. But even if the House approves the medical marijuana bill, because it was amended, the bill will have to go back to the Senate before heading to the governor’s desk.

Commuters tonight can get their first look at an ambitious master plan to redevelop the area around 30th Street Station. One of the first phases of the project would reconnect Amtrak with SEPTA trolleys and the El. The 30th Street tunnel linking Amtrak and SEPTA has been closed since the 1980s, forcing commuters to walk outside. But a new underground connector is part of the latest draft of the 30th Street Station District Plan. That draft will be on public view at an open house at the station from 4:00 to 7:00 tonight. Amtrak spokesman Craig Schulz says the plan calls for completion of the new connector in 2020. Funding hasn’t been considered yet, ultimately, the vision meshes with Drexel University’s Schuylkill Yards commercial and residential development.
