The length of his sentence is similar to that of Jeffrey Carney, who was sentenced to 38 years for >espionage, conspiracy, and desertion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Carney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Carney >While working at the Marienfelde Field Site in Berlin, Carney began copying classified documents which he then provided to the East German Ministry for State Security (MfS) by repeatedly crossing back and forth into East Germany. In 1984 he was involuntarily transferred to Goodfellow Air Force Base in Texas to work as a technical instructor. Unfortunately, Carney believed, Goodfellow AFB was a training base with no real-world intelligence of any interest to the MfS. He soon discovered that he had been very wrong. He continued providing the MfS with documents, meeting his handlers in Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro In 1985. Carney spent 11 years in prison.
