HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The man accused of orchestrating email attacks on the Honolulu Police Department’s computers in 2020 got his sentence deferred after pleading no contest to charges.
Authorities said 31-year-old Christian Grado allegedly sent thousands of emails to a server that police used to help report and enforce COVID lockdown orders.Officials called the attack an “email bomb.”
Grado pleaded no contest back in February.
On Thursday, a judge accepted the plea and deferred his sentence for four years while Grado served out a type of probation.
During that time, he’ll have to report to a probation officer and won’t be able to leave the island without permission.
Grado had previously been arrested for illegally carrying ammunition during a protest.
