BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — A U.S. Navy sailor has been sentenced to a year in prison for taking photos of classified areas inside a nuclear attack submarine while it was in port in Connecticut.
Kristian Saucier, of Arlington, Vermont, was sentenced Friday in federal court in Bridgeport.
Saucier pleaded guilty in May to unauthorized detention of defense information.
He also must serve six months of home confinement.
Saucier compared his case to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state. The FBI declined to charge Clinton for her handling of classified information while using the server.
Saucier took six photos inside the USS Alexandria in 2009 when it was in Groton. The photos were on a phone that was found at a waste transfer station in Connecticut.

One year of prison seems like a very short sentence for somebody who has taken pictures of highly classified stuff inside a nuclear attack submarine SP5 Mark Kuzinski.
I concur with the defendant Kristian Saucier that if he was sentenced to one year in prison Hillary Rodham Clinton should have gotten a stiff sentence instead of an admonishment from the FBI director for her lack of good judgement and loose security standards associate with her private email server.
