Jonathan Toebbe, 43, pleaded guilty before a federal judge, more than four months after being arrested with his wife Diana Toebbe.

The Justice Department said in its statement that Toebbe had been working since 2012 on the design of the reactors for Virginia-class submarines, the latest generation of attack submersibles in the US fleet.
The package contained"a sample of Restricted Data and instructions for establishing a covert relationship to purchase additional Restricted Data," the Justice Department said.
