THE Feds have charged Philadelphia TV newsman Larry Mendte with illegally accessing the e-mail of his co-anchor, Alycia Lane, who was embarrassed when he leaked details of her private life to Page Six and Philly gossips. Lane’s lawyer, Paul Rosen, told us yesterday that Mendte, jealous of Lane’s rising star at KYW-TV, presented “a distorted, privately selected piece of her personal life. It was not the real Alycia Lane. He even read her e-mails during his breaks on the 11 o’clock news . . . It’s pretty sick.” Mendte’s lawyer, Michael Schwartz, said his client “continues to cooperate [with investigators] and will accept full responsibility for his actions.”
