Jack Teixeria, the Air National guardsman accused of leaking classified documents online, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Boston.

The 21-year-old is facing six counts of willful retention and transmission of national defense information, according to the Department of Justice.

If convicted of the crimes, he could face up to 10 years in prison for each charge and a fine of up to $250,000.

"The unauthorized removal, retention and transmission of classified information jeopardizes our nation's security. Individuals granted access to classified materials have a fundamental duty to safeguard the information for the safety of the United States, our active service members, its citizens and its allies," Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy said in a statement.

"We are committed to ensuring that those entrusted with sensitive national security information adhere to the law," he added.

Teixeria, who was arrested in April, is facing charges of sharing highly classified military documents about the war in Ukraine, in addition to other top national security issues, on the popular social media website Discord.

At the behest of prosecutors, a federal judge had ordered Teixeira to remain behind bars until his trial.

"He has an enormous incentive to flee, and there are numerous adversaries of the United States that could provide him the means to do so, regardless of the conditions set by the Court," the prosecutors argued in their motion for pretrial detention.

Uh, yeah. Methinks someone else fits that same scenario, and he's not only allowed to stay home but to move about as much as he pleases. AND he has a airplane. He didn't even have to surrender his passport. Not that that would have stopped him if he got the notion in his head.

But hey! Everyone in the US is equal before the law. Right?

I wouldn't worry too much about him running. First, he's far too famous to hide. Secondly, he's far to narcissistic to run.

Secondly, he's far to narcissistic to run.

True. I think he still thinks he's going to be acquitted. However a number of his former staff members have said he looks like he's really scared for the first time. Scared people do stupid things.
