The criminal complaint states that Kevin Mallory has been charged with delivering defense information to aid a foreign government and making false statements to investigators. The Justice Department said Mallory could face a life sentence if convicted. Court documents described Mallory as a self-employed US citizen and resident of Virginia, who graduated from Brigham Young University in 1981. The documents state he is fluent in Mandarin Chinese and had a top-secret security clearance until 2012. He allowed the FBI to examine the device, and the Justice Department said the FBI found classified information on it, including a document marked top-secret.
