OTTAWA — Around the time the RCMP accused naval officer Jeffrey Paul Delisle of starting to hand over secret intelligence to another country, he did a different sort of spying, according to a former Ottawa-area neighbour: hiding behind bushes at his east-end Ottawa condo complex to see if his wife was cheating.
Sub-Lt. Delisle, 40, is charged under the Security of Information Act with breach of trust and communicating information to a foreign entity without lawful authority. None of the charges has been proven in court.
