Some people have overdue library books, and others have thousands of pages of top-secret government documents at their house. The former Air Force contractor Izaak Vincent Kemp admitted to being in the latter category on Thursday when he pleaded guilty to taking 2,500 pages of classified documents from the Air Force Research Laboratory and the U.S. Air Force National Air and Space Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
A 35-year-old Ohio resident, Kemp worked at AFRL and NASIC from July 2016 to May 2019, a period during which he had Top Secret security clearance, according to a statement from the Department of Justice.
Despite being trained multiple times on how to safeguard classified material, Kemp took home 112 classified documents containing about 2,500 pages of material and kept them there, prosecutors said. The materials were found by law enforcement officials while they were fulfilling a search warrant at his home on May 25, 2019.
