> When he was arrested last month on suspicion of hacking into the website of the Serious Organised Crime Agency, a picture emerged of teenager Ryan Cleary as the archetypal computer geek.
> Rarely leaving the converted bungalow that he shared with his mother, he had retreated from the real world into a digital one.
> He spent weeks on end in his darkened bedroom, surrounded by empty cigarette packets, the only light provided by the two flickering computer monitors he used to obsessively surf the internet.
> He left the room only to use the bathroom. His mother had to leave his meals at the bedroom door. He was a recluse, a nerd, a weirdo. 'He needs to get a girlfriend,' at least one commentator observed.
> In fact Ryan, from Wickford, Essex, does have a girlfriend - 19-year-old Amy Chapman. But the notion that a partner would encourage him to lead a more conventional life has proven to be wide of the mark because theirs is a very unusual relationship.
> She bridles at the term 'girlfriend' but says they are 'fulfilling each other's sexual needs'.
