A tale of love, lies, and legal oversights unfolded as a U.S. Air Force employee sent sensitive information to someone who claimed to be a woman living halfway across the globe from him.
The man was arrested on Saturday for allegedly disclosing sensitive national defense information, including details related to Russia’s war with Ukraine, on a foreign dating platform.
David Franklin Slater, 63, was adoringly called “secret informant love,” “Sweet Dave,” and “secret agent” by the romantic interest, who claimed to be a woman living in Ukraine.
