The 24-year-old actress spoke out against hacking earlier this month after a number of explicit images were stolen from her iCloud account and posted online, but her former boyfriend Brad Jackson, has now confessed he is in the same business, reports contactmusic.com.
Jackson, a supermarket employee, said of the violation of her privacy: "She's the type of person who would have done a nude scene, but would've wanted to make the decision on her own."
"The fact a hacker did it (leaked the pictures) was pretty s**tty - but that's the kind of field I'm in," he added.
He claims he's seen an image that suggests the hacker who posted Lawrence's pictures could be set to do even more damage.
"I saw a screen shot of his desktop and supposedly there's a folder of stolen videos," he told The Sun newspaper.
