“Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.”
Resourceful…
An actual whole-life sentence.
**For cybercrimes**.
We’ve only handed out less than 100 equivalent criminal sentences, **ever.**
That’s a travesty.
This is …. I don’t have the words.
I can’t find the exact order but from experience caring for such ordered people:
**A section 37 lasts six months initially, but this can be extended (‘renewed’) by your responsible clinician.
It must be renewed:
after the first six months
again after a second six months
and then yearly.
There is no limit to the number of times section 37 can be renewed.**
And if a 37/41 is imposed:
**A section 37/41 lasts until you are discharged by the Mental Health Tribunal or by your responsible clinician. If your responsible clinician thinks you should be discharged, they will need to get permission from the Ministry of Justice.**
In other words – YOU WILL NEVER GET OUT.
And it’s all about a fucking video game.
If hes that good, offer him a job as an ethical hacker
The funniest punishment would be to just ban him from playing GTA 6 forever.
Fucking terrorists get more lenient sentences than that. I really worry for the lad. Being autistic in that type of environment must be hell on Earth.
As well as hacking offences the boy was sentenced for what the judge described as “unpleasant and frightening pattern of stalking and harassment” of two young women
Because of how the mental health act works, autistic people can be punished more severely for violence than other criminals by bypassing courts. The classification of having the condition makes identical behaviours punishable with hospital orders where it wouldn’t be for others. Some of the worst possible oppression.
Would have got less of a punishment if he’d blown up Rockstars HQ…

Can someone please explain what a hospital order/sentence is
There will absolutely be films about this guys’ escapades. I truly hope it isn’t Guy Ritchie.
Presumably ‘indefinite’ means ‘until he’s fit to stand trial’, at which point he’ll be dragged into court to actually face the consequences of his crimes.
I feel like no one is actually bothering to read a single thing about this case
“He’s imprisoned forever” – no he’s not, he’s in an indefinite stay at a mental institution, it might be 6 months, it might be more. It all depends on whether or not he can be deemed safe enough to not reoffend and integrate into society
“But he didn’t really commit a crime” – I don’t particularly care about the crime but it’s a multi million pound blackmail and extortion going on. Part of the reason he’s having an infinite stay is because he proceeded to do the crime *again* while under bail and police protection. Once arrested *yet again* he proceeded to tell them that he would commit the same crime *AGAIN* if released
This isn’t a one off accidental crime
You can’t exactly happily release a repeat offender who has openly admitted they plan to reoffend again
This kid is never getting out of jail, as you can call it hospital as much as you like, it clearly isn’t. People want to be told they are on the spectrum and I most definitely am but I’d rather go to normal jail, over a mental health, secure unit.
You don’t act a nightmare in custody and scream you’ll repeat the crime indefinitely for which you are currently detained…
