Scarlett Johansson is speaking out about the convicted Hollywood hacker who leaked naked photos of her in 2011.

The Avengers actress made her voice heard in a videotaped statement that was played in court on Monday as Christopher Chaney, who hacked multiple celeb email accounts also including those of Christina Aguilera and Mila Kunis, was sentenced to 10 years in prison, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Johansson said she was "truly humiliated and embarrassed" by the leaked naked photos of her and called Chaney's work "perverted and reprehensible."

Meanwhile, in a similar taped message, Aguilera addressed the court by saying, "That feeling of security can never be given back and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy."

Renee Olstead, star of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, was also among Chaney's celeb victims and addressed the court in person, sobbing, "I just really hope this doesn't happen to someone else. You can lose everything because of the actions of a stranger."

Yesterday's hearing revealed that Chaney hacked into more than 50 celebrity email accounts, including Jessica Alba, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Ali Larter and Busy Philipps, as well as two non-famous victims. In addition to jail-time, he was ordered to pay $66,179 in restitution.

The 36-year-old hacker was arrested in October and has been in custody since March when he pleaded guilty to nine felony counts, including unauthorized computer access and wiretapping as part of a plea agreement.
