22-year-old Jack T., a National Guardsman in the US Air Force, has pleaded guilty to leaking classified Pentagon data. The BBC reported this on Monday evening.
T. had posted secret maps, satellite images and intelligence data online several times in 2022 via a Discord server. The young man was arrested in April last year.
He has now pleaded guilty to six charges of “intentionally retaining and communicating national defense information”. Each case carries a maximum prison sentence of ten years.
However, with his confession, T. has made a deal with the Public Prosecution Service, whereby they “only” demand a total prison sentence of 200 months, or 16 years and eight months. He must also pay a fine of $50,000.
