A former Air Force Intelligence officer has pleaded guilty to lying to law enforcement when she claimed her then-estranged astronaut wife committed the first crime in space, according to authorities.
Summer Worden, 50, faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 maximum fine for falsely alleging top NASA astronaut and then-spouse Anna McClain accessed Worden’s bank account from the International Space Station, the US Attorney’s Office, Southern District of Texas said in a press release.
Worden’s guilty plea Thursday put an end to a bitter legal feud with McClain.
Worden alleged McClain had guessed the password and illegally accessed her bank account in January 2019 while the pair was still married and McClain was deployed on a six-month mission to the International Space Station, prosecutors said.
Worden had actually opened the bank account in 2018, and both she and McClain accessed it until January 2019, when Worden changed the credentials, authorities said.
Investigators uncovered proof that Worden had granted her spouse access to her bank records from at least 2015, including her login credentials, prosecutors said.
Since the allegations first emerged, McClain has maintained that she had access to Worden’s accounts to manage the couple’s intertwined finances with her full knowledge, the Times reported. Complete your morning routine.
The couple was in the midst of a brutal separation and parental dispute when Worden, a former Air Force Intelligence officer living in Kansas, waged the allegations, the outlet previously reported.
Their divorce was finalized in January 2020, KSDK reported.

A woman cant have a wife
Nope. Double lesbos.
Countdown to Liftoff!
I thought maybe the accusation was going to be for shoplifting.
Ain't DEI grand.
When I was a kid, I dreamed of entering West Point or working for the CIA. But I thought those were elite institutions, so I didn't even bother applying.
But these days, it seems anyone can be an intelligence officer.
How do you determine jurisdiction?
(SHE claimed HER then-estranged astronaut WIFE)
Uhh.....err....uhh...
I’m not sure they’re even biological women!
Yeah, they both had mental problems.
Which state has jurisdiction at the Four Corners Monument - Utah, Colorado, New Mexico or Arizona?
NOTA - The Navajo Nation does.
I suppose someone in charge says,”I’m in charge.”
Maybe she did a ”Hillary,” and her password, was password. I thought most accounts tend to lock up, if several incorrect passwords are used.
Shades of former NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak, who in 2007 drove 900 miles from Houston, Texas, to Orlando, Florida while wearing diaper, to confront her romantic rival, U.S. Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman.
Neither of them should have gotten a security clearance.
That they did is an embarrassment to the nation.
I suspect they're the "butch" of the pair.
Among homosexual males, heterosexual couples and homosexual females guess who has the highest divorce rates?
It’s homosexual females.
CC
They're truly sending their best.
Also the highest rates of domestic violence.
They're both terminally crazy.
There are pictures of the couple in the NY Post story.
