July trial for Sasser suspect

John Leyden writes in The Register:

The German teenager accused of creating the infamous Sasser worm faces a July trial for computer sabotage offences.

Sven Jaschan, 19, was arrested in the village of Waffensen near Rotenburg, in northern Germany, on suspicion of writing and distributing the Sasser worm in May 2004. He later confessed to police that he was both the author of Sasser and the original author of the NetSky worm. Jaschan's trial, scheduled last week, is due to begin on 5 July in the juvenile court of the German town of Verden.
