BOSTON — The Massachusetts Air National Guard serviceman charged with leaking highly sensitive military secrets to an online forum dedicated largely to the gaming community has been ordered detained ahead of trial.
Jack Teixeira, 21, of North Dighton, was charged by criminal complaint April 14 with unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information and unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material.
He finally appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge David H. Hennessy in federal court in Worcester on Friday for the detention hearing that had been rescheduled many times.
