A 19-year-old Plymouth man was charged Wednesday for allegedly hacking 
into his former boss's e-mail account after being fired, using it to 
delete the man's Facebook and MySpace pages and send discrediting 
e-mails.

Eugene A. Osbahr, of 621 McColm St., could face up to two years behind 
bars on a misdemeanor count of computer crimes-modifying data, which 
carries a penalty enhancer due to his prior convictions.

According to a criminal complaint:

Osbahr's boss, who manages an Anytime Fitness location, alerted police 
in January after his e-mail account was compromised. The man said the 
hacker sent an e-mail to his boss making it sound as if he is selling 
steroids, then deleted his Facebook and MySpace accounts by using the 
e-mail account to reset his passwords.
