Michigan quarterback coach Matt Weiss faces several major charges stemming from the 2023 exit from Wolverine.
According to a press release from US Lawyers’ Office for Eastern MichiganWeiss opposes allegations that he illegally gained access to student data. And he’s not only going to do this to Michigan students, but also to victims of around 100 schools across the country.
Weiss faces 24 charges, 14 due to unauthorized computer access and 10 others due to aggravated identity theft. (Related: Georgia’s Nitrotagle arrested for reckless driving, speeding fee: Report)
Authorities allege Weiss committed criminal cases between 2015 and 23, illegally obtaining confidential information about more than 150,000 students.
The survey revealed that he created a specific target for female students, allowing access to more than 3,300 email, social media and cloud storage accounts.

It is also allegedly that Weiss held the record of female students characterized by sexually personality content.
Weiss’ alleged crime was investigated by police on the Michigan campus and returned to Scheme Recler Hall, the school where Weiss worked. After the investigation, Weiss took administrative leave a few days later before being eventually fired by Michigan.
In January 2023, Weiss’ Ann Arbor House was searched by police for what was originally branded as a “computer crime.”
US lawyer Julie Beck has issued a statement addressing Weiss’ investigation.
“Our offices will move aggressively to prosecute computer hacking to protect our citizens’ private accounts,” Beck said. “We are ready to bring along with our law enforcement partners to bring people who illegally and justly infringe on other people’s privacy.”
