UK: ‘Get out more, play rugby’ Judge advises teen who DDoSed online gambling site

Posted on November 25, 2015 by Dissent

Bradley Jolly reports:

Judge Michael Stokes QC encouraged Max Whitehouse, 19, to take up the sport after a court heard he was living a “virtual life”.

He said the teen was one of many youths who spent far too much time in front of a computer screen and added: “Well, you need to get out more and live.”

Whitehouse admitted bombarding a gambling channel’s website with traffic so it could not operate.

Read more on Daily Star. The teen got a 12-month suspended sentence, and has to pay £200 towards the cost of the prosecution.
