BALTIMORE — A former Navy engineer and his wife were sentenced in federal court Wednesday to more than four decades combined for plotting to sell U.S. nuclear submarine secrets to a foreign government.
U.S. District Judge Gina M. Groh sentenced Jonathan Toebbe to 19 years and his wife, Diana, to 21 years, surpassing the minimum federal guidelines for both defendants.
In handing down her sentence, Groh cited a letter from a naval officer who gave a victim impact statement that cited the “betrayal by the Toebbes” that had longstanding consequences.
