2 found guilty in nation's 1st felony spam conviction

By The Associated Press
11.04.04 LEESBURG, Va. - A brother and sister who sent junk e-mail to
millions of America Online customers were convicted yesterday in the
nation's first felony prosecution of Internet spam distributors.

Jurors recommended that Jeremy Jaynes, 30, be sentenced to nine years in prison and fined Jessica DeGroot, 28, $7,500 after convicting them of three counts each of sending e-mails with fraudulent and untraceable routing information.
