An Army officer who worked for U.S. Pacific Command was found guilty Friday by 
a military jury of illegally possessing and passing classified national defense 
information, an Army official said.

The jury Friday night sentenced Maj. Seivirak Inson to 10 years in prison, 
forfeiture of pay and dismissal from the Army.

Inson passed classified intelligence assessments about Cambodia to an 
unidentified person not entitled to have them between 2009 and 2012, and had 
unauthorized possession of a U.S. Pacific Command maritime strategy document, 
which he "had reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United 
States," the Army said.

Capt. Leslie Waddle, a spokes­­woman for the Army's 8th Theater Sustainment 
Command in Hawaii, said Inson was found guilty of those charges as well as a 
charge that he had unauthorized possession of a Defense Intelligence Agency 
intelligence report, and that he failed to report to his chain of command that 
he had contact with Cambodian military and government officials.
