Fort Bragg Veteran Facing Espionage Charges

On Monday, Courtney Williams, a former Fort Bragg civilian employee, appeared in federal court following her indictment on four felony charges for allegedly sharing classified information. She faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted.
Williams served as an operation support technician for an Army Special Military Unit at Fort Bragg from 2010 through 2016. Members of the unit suspended her access to classified information around 2016 after an internal investigation.
Prosecutors allege Williams shared sensitive data, including a "cover alias identity" and unit tactics, through over 10 hours of phone calls and more than 180 text messages between 2022 and 2025.
A judge released Williams to home detention during her Monday hearing, imposing strict conditions including bans on social media and media contact. She was arrested April 7.
Charged with violating the Espionage Act, Williams faces up to 10 years in prison for each of the four felony counts. The Justice Department stated it will continue pursuing criminal charges against leakers.
