A 21-year-old member of the U.S. Air National Guard who is facing criminal charges for leaking top-secret military intelligence records online will remain in jail for now, according to court filings.
Jack Douglas Teixeira of North Dighton, Massachusetts, was due to appear in a federal court in Boston on Wednesday for a hearing to determine whether he would remain jailed pending trial after federal prosecutors in the case told U.S. Magistrate Judge David Hennessy they intended to seek detention.
It remains to be seen whether Teixeira will opt to challenge the government's detention request or not.
