A Scottish man police accuse of being "Topiary," a key spokesman for the hacker group LulzSec, appeared in court on Monday to face the charges against him. Police say they found incriminating evidence on his computer, including 750,000 passwords and drafts of the fake Rupert Murdoch death story that appeared on the Sun website last month.

Jake Davis, an 18-year-old from the Shetland Islands, is charged with unauthorized access to a computer system, participation in a distributed denial of service attack, and other crimes. Specifically, the Metropolitan Police say he obtained personal information from Britain's National Health Service, infiltrated the servers of News International, and participated in attacks against the website of the Serious Organized Crime Agency.

In recent years, Topiary has functioned as a spokesperson for Anonymous and LulzSec. He was also believed to operate the LulzSec Twitter account, which now has more than 350,000 followers. Topiary recently deleted all of the posts on his own Twitter account leaving in place only a single tweet that read "You cannot arrest an idea."

The new evidence against Davis casts doubt on claims that the police got the wrong man. The files on Davis's computer suggest that he played an active role in LulzSec operations. And Topiary, like many Scots, speaks with a Scottish accent.

At court, Davis wore a black T-shirt under a denim shirt and sunglasses. He confirmed his name and address for the court, but otherwise remained silent. Reuters reports that he "suppressed a smile when the prosecutor struggled to pronounce 'LulzSec.'" He carried a copy of the book Free Radicals: The secret anarchy of science.

The court released him on bail. He has been ordered to live with his mother and is banned from accessing the Internet. He faces a curfew from 10pm until 7am each night, and he must wear a monitoring device to verify his compliance. His next court date is set for August 30.
