Loudoun, April 9 (Kashar News): A man convicted in the nation's first felony case against illegal spamming was sentenced to nine years in prison yesterday

Loudon County Circuit Judge Thomas Horne said that because the law targeting bulk e-mail distribution is new and raises constitutional questions, it was appropriate to defer the prison time until appeals courts rule.

Prosecutors said Jaynes used the name "Gaven Stubberfield" and other aliases to peddle pornography and sham products and services such as a "FedEx refund processor." Thousands of people fell for his e-mails, and prosecutors said Jaynes was one of the top 10 spammers in the world at the time of his arrest, taking in up to $750,000 per month.

Mr. Jaynes was convicted in November for using false Internet addresses to send mass e-mail ads through a server in Virginia. Under Virginia law, sending unsolicited bulk e-mail itself is not a crime unless senders mask their identities.

Prosecutor Lisa Hicks-Thomas said she was pleased with the ruling and confident that the law would be upheld on appeal.
