I am honestly skeptical of this claim. This seems to be the go-to excuse for scapegoating: just claim the individual was in possession of illegal material and then no one has the right to defend her!

We can either believe "he got in trouble and did something dumb", or we can believe there was some giant conspiracy against him. Again, even the North Koreans didn't want to keep him; they're about the least likely to go along with a "targeting" by the US government on the planet.
