A former U.S. Army intelligence officer who had top secret security clearance was sentenced to seven years in prison on April 23 for conspiring to collect and sell national defense information to an individual he believed was affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party.

Korbein Schultz, 25, was “fully aware of the grave national security implications” when he used his position and access to restricted databases to download and transmit at least 92 sensitive U.S. military documents, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee said.
