If he is capable of accessing such files they should be interested in employing him. Personally, I see him as a bit of a hero and can't blame him for being interested.. 'anti-gravity'? I'm obviously not absolving him of guilt - just can see how addictive it could become if you managed to get in once and actually found something mind-blowingly interesting!
Anyway, perhaps a bad idea to put him into prison - he might make the wrong kind of contacts!
No, I'm being facetious - I agree with the other comments, just making a stand for the other side of the coin.
Maybe better for him to have an equivalent UK punishment so as to easily be able to be visited by his family and loved ones. Just a thought..
I am surprised he deleted files, however perhaps they did that to stop him from reading them.
