"Bryce Pedicini, a chief petty officer fire controlman, is accused of passing documents to an employee of a foreign government at least seven times between Nov. 2022 and May 2023, according to a charge sheet obtained by NBC News."

"Pedicini was assigned to the guided-missile destroyer USS Higgins and delivered multiple documents to an employee of a foreign government relating to “national defense,” according to the charge sheet filed by the Navy."
"Earlier this year, another sailor, 26-year-old Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, was sentenced to 27 months in prison for accepting thousands of dollars in bribes from a Chinese intelligence officer in exchange for providing photos of U.S. military information."
"Last year, Jinchao Wei, a 22-year-old soldier aboard the San Diego-based USS Essex was arrested for espionage over sending training manuals for military exercises and photos of the ships he served on."
