Former Michigan and Baltimore Ravens assistant coach Matthew Weiss officially pleaded not guilty in federal court on Monday after he was charged with 24 counts of unauthorized access to computers and aggravated identity theft.
Weiss allegedly was hacking into accounts of thousands of college athletes and students across the country for years, largely in an effort to view personal and intimate photos and videos. The 42-year-old was released on bond on Monday, according to ESPN’s Dan Wetzel, after his hearing in a Detroit federal court.
A pair of former Michigan athletes also filed a lawsuit against both Weiss and the university, among others, on Friday.
