Massachusetts Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira, 22, received a 15-year prison sentence for leaking classified documents online.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani described it as “one of the most significant…violations of the Espionage Act.”
Teixeira admitted to sharing top-secret information on Discord, including intel on Russia’s Ukraine war.
Prosecutors revealed he accessed classified data on countries like Israel, Syria, and China despite warnings from superiors.
Teixeira’s defense claimed he was isolated and wanted to “educate” friends, regretting the harm caused.
