Former FBI agent Robert Hanssen was sentenced to life in prison for espionage against the United States.

Hanssen, who was arrested last year and charged with selling intelligence to Moscow for $1.4 million in cash and diamonds, apologized for his behavior and said, "I am shamed by it."
The 58-year-old Hanssen, standing in a green prison uniform before U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton, thanked his family, friends and co-workers who have expressed support.
"I am humbled by your generosity, your goodness and your charity," Hanssen said to a hushed, packed courtroom audience that included many of his former FBI colleagues.
Hanssen avoided the death penalty after reaching an agreement with government prosecutors. Under terms of the agreement, he had to cooperate fully with investigators and truthfully discuss his espionage, which spanned more than two decades and caused the death of at least two agents in Russia.
"I apologize for my behavior. I am shamed by it," Hanssen told Judge Hilton. "I have opened the door for calumny against my totally innocent wife and children. I have hurt so many deeply."
The judge told Hanssen he believed that life in prison was appropriate under sentencing guidelines and under a plea agreement that Hanssen reached with prosecutors. The sentence will not allow parole or early release.
The criminal sentencing closes a chapter in one of America's most-damaging espionage scandals.
Hanssen told investigators that security at the FBI was so lax that he could walk out of the building with classified files that he gave to the Russians. He revealed the identities of two intelligence contacts in Russia who were later executed.
