The Law: What Can You Say About A Spy?
(2 of 2)
So far, one. In 1985 Sharon Scranage, a 29-year-old CIA operations support assistant in Ghana, pleaded guilty to two counts of violating the act after revealing the identities of two agents to her boyfriend, a cousin of Ghana's military ruler. After her arrest, Scranage cooperated with authorities, helped in the preparation of a harm-assessment report and told the court, "I'm very sorry for all the damage I've done." She was sentenced to five years in prison and ended up serving 18 months. Scranage's boyfriend, who had come to the U.S., was given a 20-year sentence for receiving secrets. It was suspended when he agreed to leave the country immediately.
