Chad Johnson contacts FBI to get to bottom of sex tape leak

Chad Johnson has admitted his role in a sex tape made with two tattooed female friends that is making the Internet rounds but the former NFL star said the video was meant to be private and has now contacted the FBI to find out who leaked the hotel room romp.

Sources told TMZ that Johnson is furious about the 3-year-old sex tape going public and believes the video was hacked from his phone.  He wants the Feds to probe how the X-rated footage made it into cyberspace after he claimed he had nothing to do with its release.

TMZ reports that Johnson (formally known as Chad Ochocinco) is still waiting for a response from the FBI.

After the video went viral, the NFL wideout ran a post pattern straight to a lawyer (who deals specifically with cyber crimes) to draft a cease-and-desist letter in order to get the cheesy tape yanked from the web.

The 34-year-old football player-turned-reality-TV-star was released by the Dolphins after his 41-day marriage to Evelyn Lozada was rocked by domestic violence charges over the summer.

Johnson once cracked that he would "go into porn" if he wasn't playing in the NFL.  Maybe this was his audition tape.
