Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: A U.S. Navy officer accused of spying for an unidentified foreign power was secretly arrested last summer in an espionage investigation that is ongoing, authorities said Saturday. 
  
 The heavily redacted charge sheets say the unidentified officer gave secret information “relating to the national defense to representatives of a foreign government.” But the four-page document does not say exactly what information was provided, or for how long a period it was provided, how the information was transmitted or which nation it was provided to. 
  
 The multiple charges of espionage and attempted espionage, made public only on Friday, suggest the accused officer was under surveillance by Navy counterespionage agents for an extended period of time. The officer was arrested “about eight months ago,” according to a U.S. official who asked for anonymity in exchange for discussing some details of the case. 
  
 The name of the officer, a lieutenant commander who was assigned to a sensitive maritime patrol and reconnaissance group, is being withheld from the public “out of respect for the ongoing investigation” and the privacy rights of the accused, said the official. 
  
 The official did not rule out the possibility of further arrests in the case, which is being jointly pursued by both the FBI and Naval Criminal Investigative Service, or NCIS. The officer is being held in the Naval Consolidated Brig in Chesapeake, Va. 
  
 The officer’s unit “provides airborne anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations from planes such as the P-8A Poseidon, P-3C Orion and unmanned MQ-4C Triton,” according to the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot newspaper. The command of the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Force is headquartered at Hampton Roads Naval Support Activity in Norfolk, “although it's not clear whether he was stationed there,” the paper said. The unit has wings at Jacksonville Naval Air Station in Florida, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Washington state and Marine Corps Base Hawaii. 
  
 The Navy’s charge sheet said the officer is accused of three counts of attempted espionage, three counts of making false official statements and five counts of communicating defense information “to a person not entitled to receive said information.” It also said the officer provided a false address when he was on leave "rather than the actual foreign destination," and failed to report contacts with foreign nationals.

 The Navy also accused the officer, “a married man,” of procuring prostitutes ”on divers occasions” and having sex with “a woman not his wife,” a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or UCMJ. 
  
 The dates of the alleged espionage, the identity of the foreign spy service—if any—and the foreign nationals involved will not likely be disclosed until and if the Navy prefers court martial charges against the accused. 
  
 Adm. Philip S. Davidson, commander of Fleet Forces Command, will weigh the results of an Article 32 investigation, the military’s version of a grand jury, to determine whether a court martial is warranted. 
  
 The accused officer could face the death penalty if found guilty of the most serious espionage charges. 
  
 Under the UCMJ, a service member is eligible for the death penalty for espionage if found “guilty of an offense that directly concerns nuclear weaponry, military spacecraft or satellites, early warning systems, or other means of defense or retaliation against large scale attack, war plans, communications intelligence or cryptographic information, or any other major weapons system or major element of defense strategy.” ||||| New details have emerged on the active-duty United States Naval officer who is accused of espionage and facing multiple charges for allegedly passing secrets to China. 
  
 Lt. Cmdr. Edward Lin worked as a flight officer on the Navy's sensitive intelligence gathering aircraft, the EP-3E Reconnaissance. A U.S. official familiar with the case claims Lin leaked details about the plane's communications systems - information that could help adversaries counter U.S. eavesdropping. 
  
 Exact details of the information Lin may have shared with China and for how long is still not clear. 
  
 Heavily redacted charge documents accuse Lin with five counts of espionage and attempted espionage, three counts of making false official statements and five counts of communicating defense information "to a person not entitled to receive said information." 
  
 Lin is also charged with engaging in prostitution and adultery while on active duty, which is also a violation of military law. 
  
 Originally from Taiwan, Lin didn't become a U.S. citizen until 2008. CBS News has confirmed that Lin has been in custody since last summer. A Navy admiral must now decide whether there is enough evidence against Lin to court martial him. In the meantime, he is being held in a Navy brig in Virginia. 
  
 If found guilty of one of the most serious espionage charges, Lin could face the death penalty. 
  
 In a 2008 profile on the Navy's website about Lin gaining citizenship, he described America as the "promised land." 
  
 "Whether it is economical, political, social or religious reasons," Lin said. "I do know that by becoming a citizen of the United States of America, you did it to better your life and the life of your family." 
  
 The article claims Lin came to America with his family from Taiwan at the age of 14, and chose his English name based on his mother's dog's name. ||||| Photo 
  
 WASHINGTON — The Navy is weighing charges of espionage against an officer who is a naturalized American citizen and has been under investigation since last year on suspicion of providing secret information to China and Taiwan, United States officials said. 
  
 The allegations against the officer, Lt. Cmdr. Edward C. Lin, 39, who was born in Taiwan, are part of a secretive espionage case in which Commander Lin is also accused of visiting a prostitute. United States officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly because the investigation into the officer is continuing, said Navy investigators believed that Commander Lin provided secret information to a Chinese girlfriend. 
  
 The officials could not say how the information was then passed on to Taiwanese or Chinese officials, but Commander Lin, a flight officer who worked on Navy spy planes, is accused of communicating secret information knowing that it would be used by a foreign government. The other charges being considered against Commander Lin include hiring a prostitute, committing adultery — a crime in the military — and not disclosing foreign travel to the United States government, and then lying about it. 
  
 For Commander Lin, who moved to the United States as a teenager, the allegations represent a huge reversal. The Navy had held him up as an example of what immigrants can achieve in the United States and in the military.

 The Navy featured his personal story in December 2008 in a public affairs report on his naturalization ceremony, which took place in the United States District Court in Honolulu. 
  
 “Lin was 14 years old when he and his family left Taiwan,” the report said. “They had to travel halfway around the world, stopping in different countries along the way where they had to quickly adapt to new cultures and to find inventive ways to communicate while learning new languages.”

 The report quoted Commander Lin as saying, “I always dreamt about coming to America, the ‘promised land.’” 
  
 “I grew up believing that all the roads in America lead to Disneyland,” he added, according to the report. It went on to say that “upon arriving, he quickly found out that it was not about where the roads lead, but where his future in America would take him.” 
  
 Until his arrest in September, Commander Lin’s path did appear to be that of an American success story. He enlisted in 1999, and three years later he attended Officer Candidate School, receiving his commission in May 2002, according to his Navy biography. 
  
 He went on to serve in a variety of roles as a flight officer, and attended the United States Naval War College in Newport, R.I., from December 2010 to February 2012. From there he went to a job on the Navy staff at the Pentagon, and then was assigned to the Special Projects Patrol Squadron 2 in Hawaii, the last assignment before his arrest. 
  
 An Article 32 hearing, the military equivalent of a grand jury, was held for Commander Lin on Friday, and a decision about whether to formally bring his case before a full court-martial is expected by next week, the officials said. 
  
 The charge sheet that was considered at the Article 32 hearing, two officials said, included only allegations of spying for Taiwan; the possibility that he also spied for China is still the subject of the investigation, which is being conducted jointly by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the F.B.I., they said. 
  
 Commander Lin has been in pretrial confinement at the Navy Consolidated Brig in Chesapeake, Va., since his arrest, the officials said.

The Navy is dealing with an espionage case that involves allegations of both treason and adultery. Though authorities haven't officially identified the officer involved, multiple outlets report that he is Lt. Cmdr. Edward Lin, who was born in Taiwan and became a naturalized US citizen in 2008. The New York Times reports that Lin is accused of passing along military secrets to China—via his "Chinese girlfriend." Exactly what he passed along is unclear, but the Virginian-Pilot reports that his unit works with a slew of reconnaissance planes and vessels, including the P-8A Poseidon, the P-3C Orion, and the MQ-4C Triton. Lin was arrested about eight months ago, but details are just now becoming public, reports Newsweek. In addition to the charge of providing classified information to a foreign nation, Lin is charged with adultery, which is a crime under military law. Specifically, he is accused of visiting a prostitute, though it's unclear whether this is the "Chinese girlfriend" referred to in the Times report. He has been held since last summer while the government determines whether there is enough evidence to court-martial him, reports CBS News.
