1) I currently have a Secret Clearance for a private sector company with government contracts. I got the job in mid 2008 where I had to fill out an SF86. On my SF86, I said I used marijuana 1 time. Truth is, at the time I filled it out, I had smoked marijuana 4 times. All in college, not habitual. After I filled out the SF86, passed my drug/pee test, I smoked two more times as a ';celebration'; to being done with school and entering the work force. So I used marijuana 6 times total in my life, all during university years. If I get far enough along in the interview process for these other 3-letter agencies I'm applying to, should I confess this? I know it is a serious crime to lie on your SF86. If I confess, will I go to jail, pay a fine, be disqualified? I have no criminal record and the only way the government will know that I smoked marijuana these times is if they interview those friends I was with, of whom I am no longer in contact with so I won't be listing them as references for my BI. But I'm scared if I try to lie about my usage that it will show up on my polygraph. Or maybe the government will hunt down those old college chums of mines somehow and ask them about the times we got high together. Will they do that? What should I do?
2. I frequented strip clubs for the past 7 years. Took a few strippers home for sex. Spent thousands on dances. Will this disqualify me? No one will know how much I spent on the strippers unless they run my ATM transactions and notice me taking out hundreds of dollars at 1:00am on the weekend.
3. I've paid for several escorts/hookers and erotic massages from girls online (all over 18 of course). Not to mention the strippers I had sex with (after spending hundreds on lap dances in the club). Should I confess how many times I did this? Or lie about the number of times? How will they even know unless they run my cell phone calls from the last several years and trace every number I called?
Please help. I've never been arrested or anything. Its like all this stuff can't be found out unless they run my ATM transactions, cell phone calls, and find my old friends whom I don't even know where they are. I don't plan to ever do this stuff again. I have graduate degrees from top-tier schools and all the credentials government agencies want.
Answer as many of my questions as you can. Am I screwed from getting a TS clearance? Should I even apply to jobs where I need one, or just stay ';secret'; and never reveal my past to anyone?Lying on SF-86 Security Clearance Form? Marijuana Use, strip clubs, prostitution?
Assuming you're not trolling:
18 U.S.C. 1001, a federal criminal statute, states, in part:
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully鈥?br>
(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both. If the matter relates to an offense under chapter 109A, 109B, 110, or 117, or section 1591, then the term of imprisonment imposed under this section shall be not more than 8 years.
Don't lie to the feds. 5 years in prison is no fun.Lying on SF-86 Security Clearance Form? Marijuana Use, strip clubs, prostitution?
