[snip] A Long Island police officer has been charged with hacking into the e-mail account of a woman he met through an on-line dating service and posing as her in messages sent to himself and to other men. Michael Valentine, 28, of Lake Grove, was arraigned Monday on a 197-count indictment that included charges of stalking, computer trespassing, official misconduct and tampering with evidence. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
