A former active-duty U.S. Army sergeant and intelligence analyst has pleaded guilty to federal charges related to a conspiracy in which he allegedly traded military secrets for cash, according to authorities.
The Justice Department announced Korbein Schultz’s guilty plea in a press release on Tuesday. It comes five months after his arrest at his post at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, and less than a month after he alerted the court that he wished to change his initial plea of not guilty.
Just prior to his arrest, a federal grand jury indicted Schultz on charges of conspiring to obtain and disclose military defense information, exporting technical data related to defense articles without a license, conspiracy to export defense articles without a license, and bribery of a public official.
