Cleary bailed, banned from the internet

MCV Staff 28th June 2011 Business News

Essex teenager and possible LulzSec member Ryan Cleary has been been released on bail on the condition that he stays off the internet.

He has been forced to wear and electric tag and had his iPhone, PS3 and PC confiscated by officials.

Furthermore, it has now been revealed that Cleary suffers from Asperger’s syndrome. It’s the same condition suffered by high-profile NASA hacker Gary McKinnon.

Ryan has last week at court been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, which is a form of high functioning autism," Cleary’s solicitor stated.

"He will now be provided with the professional support that he needs. His obvious intelligence can now be channelled into a worthwhile pursuit.”

Police have not yet released any information about Cleary’s alleged connections with LulzSec.
