Two UK Lulzsec Suspects Plead Guilty To DDoS Charges

judgecorp writes "Two teens have pleaded guilty to taking part in Lulzsec attacks on the U.S.'s CIA and Britain's SOCA. Ryan Cleary and Jake Davis, aged 19 and 18 respectively, admit to denial of service attacks. Cleary has also been charged in the U.S., but is unlikely to face extradition." However, "... both Cleary and Davis denied allegations they posted 'unlawfully obtained confidential computer data' to public websites including LulzSec.com, Pirate Bay, and PasteBin, in order to encourage offenses contrary to the Serious Crime Act." Two others involved pleaded not guilty to all charges.

    For many months it was the FBI running the show and were actively enticing minors into committing criminal acts, which were carried. Note, the FBI also did criminally fail to charge Hector Xavier Monsegur with the serious charge of child abuse for recruiting and leading minors in criminal acts, making those FBI agents guilty of being accessories after the fact and conspiring to obstruct the course of justice, the FBI even lied in court about Hector Xavier Monsegur role, reducing his lead role of child abusing leader to just some abstract 'participant'. Serious crimes for which the FBI has yet to be challenged. Should the UK now force the extradition of Hector Xavier Monsegur and charge him with child abuse for recruiting and leading minors in criminal acts, the law is clear in this matter and UK police are just as guilty, charging at the time minors who where victims of Hector Xavier Monsegur with the criminal acts that Hector Xavier Monsegur, researched, lead and provided the tools to commit.
