From The Metro:
A teenage recluse accused of helping to launch a cyber attack on the website of Britain’s security services has been bailed – on condition he stays in his house...
Ryan Cleary, who has reportedly not left the family home for the past four years owing to his agoraphobia, was ordered to observe a curfew between 9pm and 7am.
The 19-year-old will also have to wear an electronic security tag and can only leave the house if he is accompanied by a parent.

The story cleary has its droll aspects. But bail is not really supposed to be a punishment at all, so I question your headline.
His perfect punishment. No mention of not using the internet then? LMAO @ 'the Law'
H, isn't it? Why impose it then.
C, I'm afraid they did slap him with an internet ban, I deleted that bit to underscore the humourous aspect. But slapping a hacker with an internet ban is like putting hand cuffs on Houdini, surely he'll find a 'work around'?
It shouldn't take too long for someone who knows what they're doing to start using next doors wireless connection.
