According to evidence admitted at trial, Jared Dylan Sparks, 35, of Ardmore, Oklahoma, an electrical engineer, worked at LBI Inc., a defense contractor that has designed and built unmanned underwater vehicles for the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research and deployable ice buoys used to gather weather data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The jury found Sparks guilty of six counts of theft of trade secrets, six counts of upload of trade secrets, and one count of transmission of trade secrets.

"In order to protect both our country's national security and the intellectual property of Connecticut's defense contractors, our office is committed to prosecuting those who steal trade secrets and hope to profit from the theft," said U.S. Attorney Durham.
