Jennifer Lawrence was one of the first celebrities to have her private photos hacked on the Internet, but could her ex-boyfriend actually be a hacker?

According to The Sun on Sunday, Brad Jackson, who claims to be Lawrence's middle school boyfriend is actually now a hacker.

"She's the type of person who would have done a nude scene but would've wanted to make the decision on her own," he reportedly said. "The fact a hacker did it [leaked the pictures] was pretty s---ty - but that's the kind of field I'm in."

Jackson said that he isn't a "black hat" hacker like those on 4Chan, where Lawrence's photos were first distributed, however Jackson said he is tempted by profit. "I'm so tempted to go into the illegal part and make more money."

This probably won't make Lawrence very happy. The Hunger Games star recently spoke out about her own case, calling it a "sex crime."

"The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That's why these websites are responsible," the actress told Vanity Fair (via E!). "Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it. It's so beyond me. I just can't imagine being that detached from humanity. I can't imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside."
