We have an update on a story we first brought you at the end of May. Former WKYC anchor Dawn Stensland's husband Larry Mendte was fired by his station in Philadelphia after it was alleged that he secretly read his former co-anchors private emails. Again we stress Dawn was not involved in this in any way.
Today, we have the latest from The Associated Press:
A fired Philadelphia TV newscaster has admitted to hacking into his former co-anchor's e-mail accounts.
Larry Mendte has pleaded guilty to one count of illegally accessing a computer. He admits to illegally viewing hundreds of Alycia Lane's e-mails for more than two years, ending in May. The access came at a time when leaked information about Lane's personal life contributed to her own downfall.
Mendte and Lane co-anchored evening news for four years together at KYW, a CBS affiliate. The partnership ended after Lane was arrested in December following an alleged scuffle with New York police and was fired.
Mendte later lost his job and was charged by federal prosecutors. He faces a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison, but is likely to get much less.
