Queens prosecutors say a man has admitted posing as his ex-wife to start racy online conversations and posting nude photos of her on the Web -- while on probation for the same crime.
The Queens District Attorney's office says Thomas Gillen pleaded guilty Thursday to identity theft and criminal contempt. The 46-year-old faces up to five years in prison at his sentencing, set for Feb. 2.
Gillen's lawyer didn't immediately return telephone calls Friday night.
Prosecutors say the former Queens resident impersonated his former wife online more than 1,500 times between November 2007 and 2008.
Gillen was arrested on similar charges in 2006 and sentenced the next year to five years' probation. He most recently lived in Hagerstown, Md.
