A 38-year-old Ontario man who faced a rare charge under Canada's state secrets law of leaking sensitive information to a foreign entity or terrorist group has been found not criminally responsible after he posted a YouTube video that disclosed nuclear power plant vulnerabilities and provided instructions on how to cause damage.
James Alexander Mousaly, who worked for provincial electricity producer Ontario Power Generation, was suffering from bipolar disorder and psychosis when he livestreamed the offending information for 22 minutes on Jan. 30, 2024, a judge in Oshawa, Ont., ruled Thursday.
"His delusions included beliefs of being a prophet and a whistleblower regarding workplace safety," Ontario Superior Court Justice Jill Cameron said.
The video was only up for less than a day before
