Facing US trial

January 14, 2012 | 12:00 AM

Student Richard O’Dwyer stands with his mother Julia at the Westminster Magistrates Court in central London yesterday. The court ruled that O’Dwyer, 23, who created a website allowing people to watch films and TV shows for free can be extradited to the US to answer copyright infringement allegations. O’Dwyer allegedly earned thousands of pounds through advertising on the TVShack website before it was closed down by US authorities. He faces jail if found guilty of the charges, which were brought after a crackdown by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
