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.

It’s a pretty convenient excuse to be in space at the time of the crime. Very suspect.
What this tells us is there is something seriously wrong with Air Force Intelligence and NASA that they put crazy women in such important positions.
And the worst “parents” for boys, really high levels of abuse for those boys.
I think we had a thread here on that
Lesbians....UGH!
I can’t keep up. Witch one has the penis?
In pretend world you can.
She's got The Wrong Stuff.
How did they make the baby? Poor kid.
When ongoing immoral perversion does not prevent advancement, then astronot is more fitting than astronaut.
.......”...for falsely alleging top NASA astronaut and then-spouse Anna McClain.....”
...then-spouse......that tells me all I need to know or want to know about this lesbian situation....back to my morning coffee.....
It’s not like in the movies.
Otherwise the would be a Lesbo Catfight on OnlyFans.
Wow, a lesbian cat fight in outer space! Now THAT is a real “first.” Democrats love “firsts.” Will they trumpet this one?
“...in the White House.” Which he was.
A security clearance is just one problem.
For obvious reasons astronauts need very stable personalities.
They both should have flunked any psych tests.
In their defense, all women are at least a 4 crazy, and a woman's plot point on the matrix can change at any time.
