Julian Assange to plead guilty to violating the Espionage ActJulian Assange has agreed to plead guilty to violating the Espionage Act and is expected to appear in a U.S. courtroom on the Northern Mariana Islands in the coming days.
The guilty plea is expected to resolve Assange's outstanding legal matters with the U.S. government.
Justice Department prosecutors recommended a prison sentence of 62 months in custody as part of the plea agreement, which is on the high end for a single-count violation.
Assange would not spend any time in U.S. custody because, under the plea agreement, he'll receive credit for the approximately five years he has spent in a U.K. prison fighting extradition to the U.S.
The result could be that Julian returns home to Australia.
