A U.S. Navy sailor has been charged with espionage after he allegedly leaked sensitive military materials to an agent for a foreign government numerous times over a six-month period.
NBC News reported Chief Petty Officer Fire Controlman Bryce Pedicini is alleged to have taken classified documents or other materials and passed them on to another individual at least seven times from November 2022 until May of 2023.
Pedicini is a 16-year Navy veteran who had been stationed in Japan.
He was working aboard the guided-missile destroyer the U.S.S. Higgins during the alleged document dumps and is expected to face a general court-martial before the week is up, the U.S. Naval Institute reported, citing a military charge sheet. The USNI reported it is alleged Pedicini made his first contact with an agent for another government on Nov. 22, 2022, in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
He allegedly met a person described as “an employee of a foreign government” six more times in the same place.
From May 8 to May 17 of last year, Pedicini allegedly tried to link up several times with a foreign agent in Yokosuka, Japan.
Per the charge sheet, Pedicini allegedly attempted to pass along images he took of secret information from a computer screen during those attempted meetups.
It is unclear what country the foreign agent worked for and exactly what kind of information was allegedly leaked by the career serviceman.

busted for trying to move in on “Buyden Brand” territory?
I dont understand why they don’t execute these guys.
Can’t imagine any more clear cut example of treason. Who was it? Robert Hansen almost single handed destroyed the entire US counter-intelligence efforts? Caused billions in damage and led to executions of numerous spies working for us.
His punishment: 15 life sentences. How stupid. No man has more than one life so if they wanted more punishment just shoot him behind the ear and dump his body in a dirt hole.
Might as well take the punishment off the books. (Except I suspect they are saving it for conservatives)

Hansen should have had an “accident” at sea.
Truth is: Biden did not get his cut. So he came down on him like a ton of bricks.
“It is unclear what country the foreign agent worked for and exactly what kind of information was allegedly leaked by the career serviceman.”
This is like when they don’t show a picture of a criminal or tell you the race of the perpetrator. My guess this means it’s a “friendly” country, and the “friendly” country that spies on us the most is Israel.
>Hansen should have had an “accident” at sea.<
He should have stored it in a broken down box in his garage. He may even present himself to a jury as a jolly young lad with a penchant for photography.

What? Barry Biden does this on a regular basis!
Or perhaps there is no real foreign agent and the FBI created the whole situation...
That’s not a CPO.
Yes, that’s a real possibility.
Screams the question, what’s the boyfriend’s name?
I was a sailor in the late ‘60’s. I prefer the dungarees and chambray shirts. The camos look messy.
I still have my working dungarees. They were the best. I despised the blue vomit commies. Thankfully they’re gone, but the guacamole replacement isn’t much better.
Typical Beijing Biden Democrat.
Who the heck is that clown?
