The shocking allegations by Jon Gosselin's former lover that he hacked into Kate Gosselin's email and telephone accounts could land him behind bars says TV's Judge Alex.
"If he really hacked into her email and bugged her phone, he's looking at crimes that are punishable by prison" Judge Alex Ferrer told RadarOnline exclusively.

Ferrer says that Jon Gosselin - despite still being legally wed to Kate- "may have violated state and federal law" if he illegally invaded her electronic privacy.
Kate Gosselin is considering legal action after seeing RadarOnline's exclusive video interview with Stephanie Santoro in which Jon bragged that he hacked into Kate's email, telephone and banking accounts.
Kate has a number of legal options says Ferrar. "She can certainly have a civil claim against him," Ferrar says. "She could go in front of the family court judge and ask for contempt sanctions against him. She could file criminal charges against him. She could do a whole host of things."
