Eric Gillespie, the founder of the Pittsburgh-based defense startup Govini, has been charged with multiple felonies related to a child sex sting operation. He is accused of attempting to solicit sexual contact with a preteen girl during an online chat. The Attorney General of Pennsylvania has confirmed the charges, stating that the 57-year-old man tried to arrange a meeting for sexual activity with a minor. The Pentagon is currently investigating the situation, as Gillespie held a significant position at a major defense contractor. Authorities continue to address the serious allegations against him and the broader implications for industry professionals.
