ICE Agent Andrew J. Pleviak who was arrested and accused of sending a Wichita television news anchor sensitive law enforcement material has told a federal judge he intends to change his plea.

Pleviak was indicted in July on two counts of exceeding authorized access to a government computer and one count of destruction of records. He was jailed after allegedly violating his bond conditions.

A probable cause affidavit released last month shows KAKE-TV anchor Deb Farris told police Pleviak was sending her sensitive law enforcement material and texting messages that were sexual in nature. 

Farris told The Associated Press that Pleviak first came to her asking to be her source, saying he had all kinds of information she would need for future stories.  

"Then all of a sudden it turned inappropriate and he was texting me things that made me uncomfortable and I got scared," she said, adding she contacted the Wichita Police Department who advised her to put up security cameras and make a police report. 

Officers photographed about 185 screen shots of text messages between her and Pleviak in March.   

A change-of-plea hearing is set for Today. The court will also consider at that time whether to revoke Pleviak's bond.
