Nakoula, known under at least a dozen other aliases, had been previously convicted of crimes including bank fraud and the intention to manufacture methamphetamine.
In 2010, he was found guilty of opening bank accounts using stolen identities and Social Security numbers, and was sentenced to 21 months in prison. Nakoula was released in June 2011 on the condition of restricted Internet access for five years.

While I believe that he will no be arrested in relation to the film, he can be arrested under parole violation, depending how he will be charge.
Still, this will be doing a favor to protect him, after all I would not be surprise if some nut out there try to retaliate against him for his involvement in the film.
I find also interesting how his background and runs with the law has been expose and readily use as an excuse for arrest.

The guy is a piece of work, but he didn't break any laws...same as if the KKK did a film about their opinion on MLK. Might be trashy and low brow, but not illegal.
The California probation office is reviewing whether Nakoula, who was convicted on bank fraud charges, violated his parole by uploading the film onto the Internet. His terms of parole required that he seek approval from his probation officer before buying or using Web-capable devices, and that any approved device could only be used for work purposes. He was also restricted from circumventing this rule by enlisting others to access the Internet on his behalf.

I reckon you were so excited about expressing your opinion that you forgot to read the article first.

Police are investigating Nakoula's alleged involvement in creating the film 'Innocence of Muslims,' and for possible parole violations.

Fair enough, the question is did he upload it
did =he= upload it.
Anything can be filmed by someone else and uploaded to the net. "hey man, I was just doing my job...figured they would put it on DVD or something, interwebz? no wai...did it get any hits?".
its fairly pathetic. unless he is on a vlog discussing how he just uploaded the video, then they got nothing...

I am not sure to tell the truth, some rumors said that he is of dual citizenship and of Israeli background, while some said he is Egyptian.
But, we don't know for sure, his been already in prison in the US.

I always enjoy your well written posts. You don't often leave an opening for a jab, so I just couldn't pass this opportunity up.

Simply put he was on probation, part of that states he can't go on the internet. He broke his probation and now he has to pay for that......
