Britain arrested a 19-year-old man on Tuesday as part of a joint investigation with the U.S. FBI into LulzSec, which claims responsibility for computer attacks on the U.S. CIA, Britain's Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) and Sony Corp. Britain's top policeman called the arrest "very significant." LulzSec rejected suggestions the teenager was a leading figure....

His mother, Rita, 44, told the Daily Mail her son suffered from agoraphobia and attention deficit disorder, and had not left his home for four years.

LulzSec wrote on its Twitter website: "Clearly the UK police are so desperate to catch us that they've gone and arrested someone who is, at best, mildly associated with us. Lame."

In a comment on a hacker chatroom on Tuesday, a participant wrote: "He hasn't gone to jail and won't. It's just the police trying to get information on LulzSec, which I should imagine is why they are hyping it up (60 years in jail) to get him to talk."

Wouldn't someone with agoraphobia *want* to go to prison? It seems like a couple thousand hours of community service cleaning up trash in a public park would be a worse punishment for him.
