A Navy officer born abroad is accused of passing secrets to a foreign government, according a charge sheet provided by the Navy and sources familiar with it.
A lieutenant commander assigned to the Norfolk-based Commander Patrol and Reconnaissance Group is in pre-trial confinement facing a litany of charges related to conveying secret information to a foreign government.
The immigrant is being held in the Navy's brig in Chesapeake, Virginia, on multiple counts of espionage, communicating defense information and making false official statements. He also faces charges of adultery and patronizing prostitutes, the charge sheet said.
Investigators suspect the immigrant of funneling secret information to a foreign country, according to three U.S. officials who who asked for anonymity while the case is ongoing. The details of the investigation are being closely held, the officials said.
The officials said the country isn't clear; the charge sheet released by the Navy does not identify the foreign government.
The judge has 10 days to submit his recommendation to a court-martial convening authority, according to a Navy official.
The immigrant moved to the U.S. when he was 14. He was naturalized in 2008 along with nine other military members, according to a Navy release that covered the ceremony.
