A former Jacksonville Jaguars employee has been slapped with a 220-year federal prison sentence following some disturbing charges.

53-year-old Arthur Thompson is going away for the rest of his life as U.S. District Judge Brian J. Davis has announced his sentence for receiving and possessing child sex abuse material and hacking the Jags’ jumbotron.

Per The Athletic, Thompson was convicted on the aforementioned charges, as well as producing child sex abuse material while required to register as a sex offender, violating the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.

He was previously convicted of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy in Alabama in 1998 and had been ordered to register as a sex offender.

According to federal prosecutors, the NFL team hired Thompson to help design and install the stadium’s main screen, and he was eventually handed the task of running it during games.

His contract required him to report his conviction, however, he failed to do so. The team opted not to renew his contract in 2018 after being made aware of his past, which prompted him to retaliate by hacking their jumbotron.

“Before the expiration of Thompson’s contract in March 2018, Thompson installed remote access software on a spare server in the Jaguars’ server room,” per a release. “Thompson then remotely accessed computers that controlled the Jumbotron during three 2018 season NFL games, causing the video boards to repeatedly malfunction.”

The team later found a spare server and was able to determine the intruder’s IP address, which the FBI traced to Thompson’s home.

The feds searched his residence in July of 2019, seizing computers and a firearm which he was not supposed to have as a convicted felon. They found files from his devices showing they were used to remotely access the Jags’ server, also discovering thousands of images and hundreds of videos depicting child sex abuse.
