GFiber installer arrested after allegedly sending private explicit video to himself

When you call a broadband provider to get internet set up, you don’t expect the technician to become a snoop. Yet that’s exactly what investigators say happened in an Irvine apartment last month.

According to the Irvine Police Department, a woman who had GFiber (formerly Google Fiber) install service in early August noticed something odd on September 9. The installer – a contractor with ITC Service Group Acquisition – asked to borrow her cell phone to “test the Wi‑Fi.” She let him, but after ten or fifteen minutes she stepped away and later discovered her phone had been used for something far beyond a signal check.

She found a sexually explicit video, one she had previously sent to her partner via iMessage, had been forwarded from her phone to another device. The message was gone from her phone, but an echo of it lingered on her linked iPad. Tracing the number that received the file led her to Logan Edward Gray‑McCannon, a 37‑year‑old installer from Hemet who had been in her home that day.

Police moved quickly. Gray‑McCannon was arrested at his residence on September 11 and booked into the Orange County Jail on charges that include commercial burglary, unauthorized computer access, and the non‑consensual distribution of a private sexual image.

Detectives say the evidence points to the possibility of other victims, and they have released Gray‑McCannon’s photo to the public, asking anyone who may have had a similar encounter to contact Detective Sanders at jsanders@cityofirvine.org.

The case underscores a troubling breach of privacy that goes beyond a simple service call. As the investigation unfolds, authorities hope to determine just how many people were affected and to reinforce the message that personal data – even something as seemingly innocuous as a Wi‑Fi test – must be handled with the utmost respect.
