Deal brokered in nuclear spy case involving China, TVA

An engineer working as an operative for the Chinese government in a bid to use American know-how to beef up China's nuclear program pleaded guilty Friday in the first-of-its-kind prosecution in the nation.

Szuhsiung "Allen" Ho confessed Friday in U.S. District Court in the nation's first case of nuclear espionage involving China. In a plea deal struck by Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles Atchley Jr. and Ho's defense team, Ho is being allowed to plead guilty to a lesser charge and will be sentenced under a terrorism statute dubbed the Freedom Act of 2015. The maximum sentence is 20 years.
