When Steubenville law enforcement all but ignored the alleged rape of a high school girl, an offshoot of Anonymous sprung into action. A branch known as KnightSec came together to hack, scavenge, and search throughout Steubenville for evidence that would make the world pay attention — and the world did. In a history of KnightSec's crusade, Gawker unveils the man who led the group to action: a 26-year old Kentucky rapper previously known only by his handle KYAnonymous. Gawker spoke with the man about how he transformed into a leading hacktivist, how he's dealing with the aftermath of KnightSec's actions in the rape case, and what may happen as law enforcement investigates actions of his own.
