A former CIA intelligence officer has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of selling American military secrets to China.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III sentenced Mallory, who prosecutors wanted locked up for life, Fox News reported.
Mallory had worked for the CIA until 2012 and then went into business for himself as a consultant, according to The Washington Post.
97%. 3%. Mallory was first apprehended in April 2017 when, upon his return from a trip to China, he was randomly subject to a screening at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.
Officials eventually also found messages on a cell phone Mallory used to communicate with China.
Sentencing was delayed while Ellis tried to ascertain whether Mallory had in fact compromised the identity of CIA assets.
Mallory's lawyers insisted that Mallory "Provided extremely valuable intelligence to the United States, namely a Samsung cellphone containing a covert communication application used by Chinese intelligence."
