Jamie Lee Henry, a former U.S. Army major and his anesthesiologist wife, Anna Gabrielian, have been criminally charged for allegedly plotting to leak highly sensitive healthcare data about military patients to Russia, the Justice Department revealed on Thursday.
A federal grand jury in Baltimore indicted Jamie Lee Henry and his wife, Anna Gabrielian, on charges of conspiracy and wrongful disclosure of individually identifiable health information.
The indictment says the couple sought to pass federally protected medical information to an undercover FBI agent that Gabrielian believed worked at the Russian Embassy about patients at Fort Bragg and others, as well as provide information about U.S. medical capabilities in war conditions.
The indictment said Gabrielian told the agent she was “motivated by patriotism toward Russia to provide any assistance she could to Russia, even if it meant being fired or going to jail.”
If convicted, the couple faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison for the conspiracy and a maximum of 10 years for each count of disclosing protected health information.
Gabrielian and Henry were scheduled to have initial appearances Thursday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore.
Who is Anna Gabrielian?
Anna Gabrielian is an instructor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at Hopkins.
Gabrielian profile on Johns Hopkins website shows that she speaks Russian and earned her medical degree at the University of Pittsburg School of Medicine in 2012.
She married Henry in 2015, the same year the major officially came out as transgender.
