According to Reuters, Cleary is under a curfew between 9am and 7pm. Cleary’s been electronically tagged. If he wants to leave his house, Cleary must be accompanied by one of his parents.

ā€œI’m aware that I’m his best friend as well as his mother, because he’s reclusive,ā€ Cleary’s mother said in court.

Since his arrest, the 19-year-old has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome.

As previously posted, Cleary’s mom said her son ā€œlives his life onlineā€.

ā€œI thought he was playing computer games in his room,ā€ she told the Mirror. ā€œI can’t believe it. He rarely left the house.ā€

The now disbanded LulzSec claimed responsibility for a rash of recent attacks, including the C.I.A.’s website and the Battlefield Heroes beta.
