Tempia sent the case to Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who makes the final decision on extraditions. She said Love, who has Asperger’s syndrome, “suffers from both physical and mental health issues,” but ruled that the U.S. prison system is capable of meeting his needs. LONDON—A British man accused of hacking into U.S. military and government computer systems and stealing confidential information should be extradited to the United States to face trial, a judge ruled Friday. Love, from Stradishall in eastern England, was arrested in 2013 on suspicion of computer crimes but has not been charged in Britain. Gary McKinnon, accused of hacking U.S. military computers in 2002, fought a decade-long legal battle which eventually thwarted the extradition bid.
