Mexican Authorities Arrest Man Who Hijacked Sex Web Site

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- A former resident of Rancho Santa Fe accused of stealing a pornographic Web site was scheduled to appear in federal court in San Diego on Friday, officials said.
Stephen Michael Cohen, 57, has been living in Tijuana, and was arrested by Mexican authorities when he tried to apply for a work permit, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Cohen was turned over to U.S. officials, who had an arrest warrant signed by a San Jose judge. He was being held without bail, a U.S. Marshals Service spokeswoman told the Union-Tribune.
Gary Kremen battled Cohen for years over the www.sex.com Web site, and has tallied up $4.5 million in legal fees. After six years of litigation, he persuaded a San Jose federal judge to award him a $65 million judgement against Cohen, who, the court found, hijacked the domain name, the newspaper reported.
The Web site in question is primarily a bulletin board with ads for other Web sites offering sexual content, and at times has generated up to $1 million a month, the newspaper reported, citing remarks by Cohen.
After the judgment was issued, Cohen failed to appear in court and, in 2001, a federal judge issued an arrest warrant charging him with contempt of court, the Union-Tribune reported.
The warrant orders Cohen to remain imprisoned until he returns $25 million, which the judge said was illegally transferred outside of the country, the newspaper reported.
