TV Anchor Who Hacked Colleague's E-Mail Found Guilty
The full story is actually pretty wild and, ironically, made of the stuff perfect for 'Access Hollywood' headlines. The two were co-anchors on the evening news show for KYW-TV, a Philadelphia television station from 2004 to the beginning of 2008, and eventually started mixing pleasure with business. The wife finds out, Larry starts reading and leaking Alycia's e-mails to the press, and the whole situation spirals out of control to his eventual conviction.
If Alycia sounds like the only victim in this story, that's understandable. But she definitely has her own skeleton-filled closet, from sending a married man a picture of herself in a bikini, to punching a cop in the face. Seems like everyone lost in this situation. Check the video above for his full public apology. [From: Propeller]

The best coverage of this is Philly's ExileProject.com

hahaha fox news...

Who writes this stuff? Does anyone edit it b/c there's a glaring sentence structure error up there.
Other than that, the story itself is pretty juicy.

Why does the AOL headline say "TV ACTOR"?
This guy is a television actor? Really? What show is he on? Oh, it's just a local news anchor who has been in the news way too much already over this story with Rich Eisen's bimbo.

ANCHOR dummy, not ACTOR
MarkNov 26th 2008 4:57PM
The headline on this page says "Anchor." The link to this story from AOL says "Actor."
Joe SmithNov 26th 2008 11:30AM
The TV anchor works for FOX News. That's why he's referred to as TV "actor". ;)

This guy is a piece of crap. Hacking into her e mail because he was jealous of her air time and the possibility of her getting a better deal than him. $550K salary for a half assed anchor was obviously not enough and now he still has to get upi there and let everyone know he was pressured to do this. No balls. He should be in jail.

Hey you guys are being to rough on AOL. It is a male, and his job title starts with an A, for AOL thats pretty good. I think theyeven spelled his name correctly

I had an ex boyfriend who hacked my password after a high school reunion in which he sat on the commitee that he did nothing for. Then he hacked my children's passwords. Then he sent child porn to people and called AOL and reported us as child porn distributors. AOL and the FBI looked into it and found that it came from him. NOTHING was done to him "because he did not steal our identity and abuse our credit." AOL would not release any information to me without me paying THOUSANDS to an attorney to make them legally release the information "because he is a customer of theirs still and they did not feel he committed any crime." Why do internet providers and the government only make examples of mothers who cyber stalk suicidal teenagers and famous people???

I think Larry Mendte's detailed and informative confession was very wise and very good for his soul and everyone else. He should be commended!
MichaelNov 26th 2008 1:33PM
Larry Mendte should be in jail and kept away from kids. What many people don't know about him in addition to his sneaky tactics and "double life" when it comes to on air persona and personal life .... I encountered this creep in a section of town one night where gays and others cruised around city blocks in search of male on male sex. He is a scumbag who should never work in Philadelphia again.
AndyNov 26th 2008 2:05PM
What were you doing in a "section of town where gays and others cruise around city blocks in search of male on male sex?"
heidiNov 26th 2008 1:37PM
He should have known better...How old is he? 11?
STEVENov 26th 2008 2:40PM
WOW!!!...SOMEONE WHO TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS...WHAT A CONCEPT!!!...DO YOU THINK THIS MIGHT CATCH ON???...WELL???...NAH!!!

Mr. Mendte's actions actually led to Ms. Lane's dismissal from the station and virtually destroyed her broadcasting career. Granted, her actions weren't wise and may have eventually led to her own demise, with or without his interference, but to intentionally sabotage a colleague is inexcusable. It stirkes me that the 'good ol' boy network' still lets guys get by with the proverbial slap on the wrist.
