Pentagon leaker Jack Teixeira sentenced to 15 years on federal charges

Jack Teixeira, the Massachusetts Air National Guardsman who prosecutors said "perpetrated one of the most significant and consequential violations of the Espionage Act in American history," was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

The prison sentence will be followed by three years of supervised release.

Judge Indira Talwani issued the sentence on Tuesday in Boston federal court.

Teixeira pleaded guilty in March to six counts of willfully retaining and transmitting national defense information.

Prosecutors had asked the judge to impose the maximum prison sentence of 200 months -- more than 16 years -- in prison.

"The harm the defendant caused to the national security from his disclosures of national defense information is extraordinary," prosecutors said in a memorandum filed ahead of the sentencing hearing. "By posting intelligence products on the social media platform Discord to feed his own ego and impress his anonymous friends, Teixeira caused exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States. The scope of his betrayal is breathtaking."
