A teenager who turned himself in to face allegations he participated in the 2023 cyberattacks against two major Las Vegas casino operators was released Wednesday to his parents.
Family Court Judge Dee Smart Butler imposed several restrictions on the 17-year-old boy during Wednesday’s initial appearance in Las Vegas, including that he must remain in Clark County under the supervision of his parents. Prosecutors said the teen lives in the Chicago area.
The judge also restricted the suspect’s access to cell phones and electronics, and he is prohibited from using the internet unless it is for school purposes or he is accompanied by a parent. Prosecutors and defense attorneys said the boy was 15 when the cyberattacks that he is accused of being a part of happened.
