Couple accused of peddling nuclear sub secrets face stiffer penalties after second plea
Jonathan Toebbe, 43, a civilian engineer for the Navy with a top-secret security clearance, and Diana Toebbe, 46, a private-school teacher in their hometown of Annapolis, now face lengthier prison terms under revised plea agreements with federal prosecutors. Their sentencing dates are pending.
The country, which is not named in court papers, sat on the couple’s offer for months before forwarding it to U.S. counterintelligence officials. FBI agents launched a sting operation, posing as agents of the foreign country and at one point arranging for the country’s embassy to display a signal at an appointed time, to engender trust with the Toebbes.
Agents said they recorded Jonathan Toebbe over several months in 2021 leaving data cards at prearranged “dead drop” sites, concealing them inside a peanut butter sandwich, a pack of gum and an adhesive-bandage wrapper, authorities said.“I conspired with Diana Toebbe to communicate restricted data to another person with the intent to secure an advantage to a foreign nation,” Jonathan Toebbe said at a hearing Tuesday.
