    BOSTON (April 18, 2003 7:02 a.m. EDT) - A former Boston College
    student accused of using special software to collect personal data on
    thousands of fellow students, staff and faculty was sentenced to five
    years of probation.
    
    Douglas Boudreau, 22, of Warwick, R.I., pleaded guilty Thursday to
    interception of wire communications, unauthorized access to a computer
    system, larceny, identity fraud and other charges.
    
    After collecting the personal information, Boudreau reconfigured his
    own campus ID card to make purchases and illegally enter school
    buildings, Attorney General Tom Reilly said.
    
    He used the newly encoded cards at the book store, dining hall, and
    laundry rooms, stealing about $2,000 in goods and services.
    
    In addition to the probation, Judge Carol S. Ball ordered Boudreau to
    go into counseling, pay back the school and agree to computer
    monitoring.
    
    No telephone number was listed for a Douglas Boudreau in Warwick.
