A Bahamian man alleged to have hacked sexually explicit celebrity emails and movie scripts pleaded guilty Monday morning — reversing his prior not guilty plea.

Alonzo Knowles was accused in December of scheming to steal “private, sexually explicit videos of celebrities” and sell unpublished movie and TV scripts. He copped to one count felony criminal copyright infringement and one count of identity theft before Judge Paul A. Engelmayer.

“This case has all of the elements of the kind of blockbuster script the defendant, Alonzo Knowles, is alleged to have stolen: hacks into celebrities’ private emails, identity theft, and attempts to sell victims’ information to the highest bidder,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said at the time of Knowles’ arrest.

“Unfortunately, these circumstances are all too real.”

Sources have told the Daily News that one of his victims was “Power” star Naturi Naughton.

He allegedly managed to steal unproduced scripts from the hit Starz show after hacking into her phone, and tried to sell them to an undercover.

Knowles was also peddling movie scripts, including one from “upcoming hip-hop artist biopic movie,” reportedly “All Eyez on Me,” a Tupac Shakur biopic.

Knowles, 24, could land up to ten years in federal prison when he’s sentenced.

Knowles’ lawyer, Clay Hubbard Kaminsky, declined to comment as he left the proceedings.
