<p>The mother of computer hacker Gary McKinnon fears that Nick Clegg is now &#8220;washing his hands&#8221; of her son&#8217;s fight against extradition to the US.</p>
<p>The Deputy Prime Minister has been one of Asperger&#8217;s sufferer Mr McKinnon&#8217;s staunchest supporters in the campaign for him to be tried in the UK &#8211; where all his crimes were committed.</p>
<p>However, Janis Sharp says that since coming into power, the Lib Dem leader has refused a personal request to meet her, stating it &#8220;would be better all round&#8221; if they did not discuss the ongoing case.</p>
<p>Mr Clegg said the decision was out of his hands and now that of the Home Secretary, Theresa May.</p>
<p>Mrs Sharp told the Daily Mail: &#8220;I wanted to raise my concerns with Mr Clegg as it is right and proper and by no means unreasonable in the horrific circumstances to which Gary and I are being subjected.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m now afraid that he might be attempting to wash his hands of Gary and perhaps sees Gary as a thorn in his side.</p>
<p>&#8220;I so hope this isn&#8217;t true as I trusted Nick Clegg to the core &#8211; I really believed in him.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Lib Dems used my son&#8217;s case pre-election and as far as I am concerned it was 100% commitment to him. How can we have any trust in politicians when they behave like this?&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr McKinnon, 45, has spent the past seven years facing the threat of extradition to the US after he hacked into top secret military computers in 2002.</p>
<p>American officials have demanded that he is tried in the States despite expert opinions obtained by Mr McKinnon&#8217;s legal team warning that his mental condition could lead him to commit suicide.</p>
