A Florida man charged with hacking into email accounts of celebrities including actress Scarlett Johansson has been ordered to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom Nov. 1.
A federal magistrate judge in Jacksonville, Fla., issued the order at a hearing Friday for 35-year-old Christopher Chaney. Chaney faces a 26-count indictment in California including charges of identity theft, unauthorized computer access and wiretapping.
Chaney has not yet entered a plea but said in a television interview that he hacked into celebrities' accounts. Authorities say there were more than 50 victims, including actresses Mila Kunis and Renee Olstead and singer Christina Aguilera.
