Jared Heisey, 30, of Etters, York County, admitted to assaulting a subordinate employee during work hours on Aug. 9, 2019, according to a release by The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
Heisey previously worked as a Defense Logistics Agency supervisor at NSA, according to officials.
Heisey admitted to directing the victim to accompany him to conduct an inventory count in a remote building at the NSA, pinning her against a wall, grabbing by the neck while making sexual comments about what he would like to do to her, as he stated in court before United States District Court Judge Christopher C. Conner on Tuesday, according to the release.
Following the incident, Heisey was terminated from his role and is no longer employed by DLA or at NSA, officials say.
"Mr. Heisey committed a crime when he assaulted a subordinate employee aboard Naval Support Activity Mechanicsburg and for that he deserves to be held fully accountable." Special Agent in Charge Michael Wiest of the NCIS Northeast Field Office said.
The maximum penalty for this offense is eight years imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine, according to federal law.
The judge ordered a pre-sentencing investigation report to be completed and sentencing is scheduled for March 15.
