He joined the Communist Party in the 1930s . He was unmasked as a spy in Canada and faced trial in 1946 . He was exposed when the Canadian Soviet cipher clerk Igor Gouzenko defected, and while not immediately arrested, he was ultimately charged under Britain's Official Secrets Act . He was sentenced to ten years Hard Labor , of which he served six. Damage inflicted by Nunn May’s espionage was not on level with that of Klaus Fuchs , nor that alleged to have been inflected by Julius And Ethel Rosenberg , and was over less time, but was the first such case to be discovered, and revealed weaknesses in British and American security.
