They charged Swartz under many more things than just the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Just check out the list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz#Arrest_and_prosec...

- two state charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony

- wire fraud, computer fraud, unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer, and recklessly damaging a protected computer

- breaking and entering with intent, grand larceny, and unauthorized access to a computer network

- federal prosecutors filed a superseding indictment adding nine more felony counts, which increased Swartz's maximum criminal exposure to 50 years of imprisonment and $1 million in fines
