'Defiant' ex-military contractor who stole secrets gets life in prison for sexually exploiting underage girls

The strange legal saga of Christopher Glenn – which stretched from Honduras where he abused underaged girls to his mom’s Century Village condo in West Palm Beach where he was arrested by the FBI – ended Friday when he was sentenced to life in federal prison.

Glenn, 37, is a computer whiz who spent most of his adult life working overseas and earning six figures as a private contractor for the Department of Defense.

But it all fell apart when he got caught stealing classified secrets from the military. The investigation into that revealed he had been using his position and wealth to sexually exploit vulnerable, poverty-stricken underage girls in Honduras. A jury convicted him earlier this year of committing multiple crimes against eight girls, including sex-trafficking of minors and sexual assault.

Prosecutors said Glenn – who acted as his own defense attorney, spending hours trying to justify his actions – had been flouting the law for his entire adult life.
