South Carolina lawmaker Rep.

Samuel Arthur Thompson, a registered sex offender and former Jacksonville Jaguars employee, has been sentenced to 220 years in federal prison for producing, receiving, and possessing child sex abuse material, as well as for hacking the team's jumbotron after his contract was not renewed due to his sex offender status. Thompson, who was convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old in 1998, installed remote access software on a spare server in the Jaguars' server room and accessed the jumbotron during three 2018 NFL games, causing malfunctions. The FBI traced the intrusion to Thompson's residence, where they also found thousands of images and hundreds of videos depicting child sex abuse material.
