Ex-CIA software engineer Joshua Schulte who was convicted of biggest leak of classified information now faces trial on child porn charges where he allegedly had more than 10K images and videos

2023-09-12

[MAIL] A former CIA software engineer who was convicted of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks in 2017 now faces a trial in New York City for allegedly possessing over 10,000 images and videos child pornography.

Joshua Schulte, 34, was found guilty in federal court in July 2022 on eight espionage charges and one obstruction charge over the so-called Vault 7 leak. He had the charges upheld by an appeals court just two weeks ago.

Now he stands trial over accusations that he possessed and transported thousands of images showing rape and sexual abuse of children.

According to federal prosecutors, Schulte took the disturbing files with him to New York after moving from Washington, DC, to work at a financial services firm.

He organized it based on the victims' identities and characteristics and buried it under several layers of encryption.

#8 To remind:

No children were harmed by Scott Ritter. He was convicted of having an impure heart, an apparent crime in post-Constitutional America.

Perhaps this unfortunate affair can be dealt with in a discrete, non-public manner.
