LONDON — A British teenager accused of mounting computer attacks against a series of websites is autistic and should be released on bail, his lawyer said Saturday.
Defense attorney Ben Cooper said Ryan Cleary, 19, had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome since his arrest and has agoraphobia, a condition that generally refers to fear of social situations.
So far, Cleary has only been accused of cyber crimes against U.K.-based organizations, such as attacks last year on music-industry websites.
