A New Jersey mayor and his son have been arrested by federal authorities for hacking into political opponents' computers, ABC New York reports:
West New York Mayor Felix Roque and his 22-year-old son, Joseph, each face more than 10 years in prison if convicted on charges of gaining unauthorized access to computers, conspiracy and causing damage to protected computers.
Both were arrested Thursday morning by FBI agents.
Bail for both men was set at $100,000 during an afternoon court hearing, and they were ordered to surrender their passports. They also may only travel between New York and New Jersey, and cannot contact the alleged victims or possible witnesses.
When federal investigators told Roque that he could go to jail, he expressed no issues with that, saying he had "lived the dream."
