WEST NEW YORK, N.J. (AP) ' Federal prosecutors say a New Jersey mayor and his adult son hacked into websites of political foes who were seeking his recall.

West New York Mayor Felix Roque and his 22-year-old son, Joseph, each face more than 10 years in prison if convicted on charges of gaining unauthorized access to computers, conspiracy and causing damage to protected computers.

Both were arrested Thursday morning by FBI agents.



Bail for both men was set at $100,000, and they were ordered to surrender their passports. They may travel only between New York and New Jersey and cannot contact the alleged victims or possible witnesses.

Roque is a Democrat who beat former Mayor Sal Vega in a nonpartisan election this month.
