A U.S. sailor has been dishonorably discharged and sentenced to 18 years in a military prison Thursday after being found guilty of espionage while working for the Navy in Japan. Bryce Pedicini, a former chief petty officer fire controlman, was convicted of attempted espionage, failure to obey a general order and attempted violation of a general order through a court martial procedure.
Director Omar Lopez said the sentence holds Pedicini accountable to the betrayal of both his country and his fellow service members. 'The criminal act by this lone individual should not diminish the incredible sacrifices made by our service members and their families on a daily basis to protect our nation,' Lopez said.
