Debord, 41, who pleaded guilty in October 2016 to a bribery charge, was also ordered to pay a $15,000 fine and $37,000 in restitution to the Navy. Debord has admitted that he accepted cash, luxury hotels and prostitutes from foreign defense contractor Leonard Glenn Francis between 2007 and 2013. In return he provided proprietary Navy information that benefitted Francis\u2019 company, Singapore-based Glenn Defense Marine Asia.<\/p>\n
During today\u2019s hearing, U.S. District Judge Janis L. Sammartino told the defendant that he picked the wrong side. \u201cYou were clearly on their team and not the Navy\u2019s team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Acting U.S. Attorney Alana Robinson said: \u201cThis is a fitting sentence for a man who sullied his stripes with such despicable behavior. We will continue to move forward in this investigation until all involved are held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to his plea agreement, from November 2007 to January 2013, Debord provided Francis and others with internal, proprietary U.S. Navy information; directed Francis and GDMA to inflate invoices to reflect services not rendered; advocated for the U.S. Navy to procure items from GDMA under its husbanding contracts; and otherwise used his position and influence in the U.S. Navy to advocate for and advance GDMA\u2019s interests, as opportunities arose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
