Article SOURCE as marked MI6 Susceptible to Hostile Penetration http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3510318/Decorated-spy-met-men-sex-close-MI6-HQ-near-Army-base-says-wife-divorcing-him.html Decorated spy 'met other men for sex close to his MI6 HQ and near his Army base' says wife who is divorcing him A decorated spy was secretly meeting men for sex near the MI6 headquarters and his army base, says his wife who fears he 'put himself at risk of blackmail'. The intelligence officer, who specialises in identifying key targets in terrorist organisations, is said to have confessed to having casual gay sex with several men after his wife became suspicious. She has decided to divorce him but says she reported him to authorities because she believed he had made himself susceptible to hostile operations. The wife had become suspicious after she discovered pornography on her husband's phone and found out that he had been using gay dating websites, the Telegraph reported. 'When I found out what he had been doing my world fell apart,' she said. The officer's wife has questioned the effectiveness of security clearance procedures, which are supposed to raise any issues that could lead to sensitive information getting into the wrong hands. She wrote in a letter to military bosses: 'I found out what my husband was doing very easily. Imagine what trained people could do with this information.' The intelligence officer, who has not been named, was involved in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has received a military award from the Queen. He would have access to top secret information in his role. The revelations came to light during a military divorce case heard in court.  An Army spokesman said it takes 'the welfare of its personnel extremely seriously and has provided appropriate support to the soldier and his family'. The revelations come after it was alleged that MI6 worker Gareth Williams, who was found dead in his flat in August 2010, was a victim of an elaborate blackmail plot. It was suggested that the 31-year-old enjoyed cross-dressing and visited gay nightclubs, information about his private life that could have made him vulnerable to hostile intelligence services.  Read more: Decorated spy exposed by wife over secret gay sex near MI6 HQ - Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/12204769/Decorated-spy-exposed-by-wife-over-secret-gay-sex-near-MI6-HQ.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3510318/Decorated-spy-met-men-sex-close-MI6-HQ-near-Army-base-says-wife-divorcing-him.html -------/\/\/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/12204769/Decorated-spy-exposed-by-wife-over-secret-gay-sex-near-MI6-HQ.html Decorated spy exposed by wife over secret gay sex near MI6 HQ - Telegraph EXTRACTS This newspaper has seen military correspondence in which the woman raises concerns about Developed Vetting (DV), a security procedure designed to alert intelligence agencies to issues with the private lives of their staff which could make them vulnerable to blackmail.
