Davis is suspected by the authorities of being "Topiary", the public face of the Anonymous and LulzSec hacktivist groups.
According to a report in the Daily Telegraph, Westminster Magistrates' Court heard that Davis was charged with five offenses including unauthorized computer access and conspiracy to carry out a denial-of-service attack against the Serious Organized Crime Agency's (SOCA) website, which overloaded the site with traffic.
Furthermore, prosecutors are reported to have claimed that Davis's laptop was found to contain the fake article announcing Rupert Murdoch's death that visitors to The Sun's hacked website saw for a period of time earlier this month.
Jake Davis has been given bail until August 30th, on the condition that he wears an electronic tag and does not access the internet.
The teenager who wore dark sunglasses and a blue denim shirt, and only spoke in court to confirm his name and address, was surrounded by a scrum of media photographers after the hearing.
