@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ The RapeWaffen Division Telegram channel appears to have functioned as a radical
Melzer's participation in RapeWaffen Division is the basis for the most significant documented case of O9A military penetration in the public record. In May 2020, while with the [[173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team]] in [[Vicenza, Italy]] and preparing for a deployment to [[Turkey]], Melzer transmitted classified information about his unit's locations, personnel strength, troop movements, and defensive capabilities to RapeWaffen Division members via Telegram. The channel's CC-1, a UK-based O9A contact identified only by the CC-1 designation in court documents, relayed the intelligence to a second co-conspirator, CC-2, with the stated purpose of enabling a mass-casualty attack combining O9A members and Al-Qaeda-affiliated forces.
The FBI had embedded an operative in the RapeWaffen Division channel. The operative, whom Melzer believed was a fellow O9A member with operational access to jihadist networks, was the primary recipient of Melzer's intelligence disclosures. The FBI arrested Melzer on June 10, 2020, before the planned deployment. Melzer was charged in [[Southern District of New York]] case 1:20-cr-00314-GHW and pleaded guilty on June 24, 2022. He was sentenced to 45 years by [[U.S. District Judge Gregory H. Woods]] on March 6, 2023.[^3]
