An Endicott man has been sentenced on a federal charge of making a false accusation that his former boss was a foreign intelligence officer. Ryan Letcher was sentenced last week in U.S. District Court in Binghamton to four years on probation, after a federal jury found him guilty of willfully making a false statement. The sentence includes a $5,000 fine and requires him to perform 180 hours of community service. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Letcher wrote an anonymous letter in March 2012 that accused his former supervisor at BAE Systems in Endicott of being a “foreign intelligence officer.” Prosecutors said that term means a spy for another country. Letcher admitted sending the letter out of disdain for his former supervisor, prosecutors said. As part of the sentence, Letcher was also ordered to have no contact with the supervisor or BAE Systems.
