Joshua Adam Schulte (born September 25, 1988) is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee who was convicted of leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks published the documents as Vault 7, which The New York Times called "the largest loss of classified documents in the agency's history and a huge embarrassment for C.I.A. officials."[3][4][5] After his conviction, the Department of Justice called it "one of the most brazen and damaging acts of espionage in American history."[6]
On September 13, 2023, Schulte was also convicted of receiving, possessing, and transporting child sexual abuse images.[7][8] On February 1, 2024, he was sentenced to 40 years in prison for espionage and child pornography.[9]
