I wonder how many sexual assault presentations this guy has given in his career.

 

[no2gates]

Not a great career move.

Makes for awkward conversation during family get-togethers I imagine

That fûcker needed to be dismissed just to remind everyone it’s not okay to sexually assault anybody, much less somebody you’re related to.

General’s privilege

Bust his ass down to an O1 and let him finish out the year. Major Moron more like it.

Anybody notice how she uses the words "survivor" and "attacker"?
A guy tried to kiss her. She disapproves. That is harassment. He wasn't trying to kill her. SMDH
Some divas really need their 15 minutes of fame.
(btw, I am not downplaying the general's inappropriate behavior or punishment, just commenting on HER BS side of the story)

She claimed he groped her, too. It's assault.

Elements of the crime committed (UCMJ Aricle 120)

(b) Sexual Assault.-Any person subject to this chapter who-
(1) commits a sexual act upon another person by-

(A) threatening or placing that other person in fear;
(B) making a fraudulent representation that the sexual act serves a professional purpose; or
(C) inducing a belief by any artifice, pretense, or concealment that the person is another person;

(d) Abusive Sexual Contact.-Any person subject to this chapter who commits or causes sexual contact upon or by another person, if to do so would violate subsection (b) (sexual assault) had the sexual contact been a sexual act, is guilty of abusive sexual contact and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

g. Definitions
…
(2) Sexual contact.-The term "sexual contact" means touching, or causing another person to touch, either directly or through the clothing, the vulva, penis, scrotum, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks of any person, with an intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, or degrade any person or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person. Touching may be accomplished by any part of the body or an object.

The JAG doesn’t take a a case to a Court Martial without evidence to convict. Given a defendant can take NJP to a court martial, JAGs don’t even recommend NJP if there’s not evidence to convict at the court martial. Knowing this would be the first AF GO to be court martialed, there would be overwhelming evidence to convict. I would not be surprised at multiple witnesses or photographic or video evidence; this was not hearsay or a misunderstanding.

It seems there were no witnesses......

I wasn't on the jury so I will withhold judgement...no Jury...Judge only...

She said, he said.....

Ill bet the family holidays will never be the same....................

[Moonpie]

Would this same punishment be offered to a lesser rank?

Pffft! Not hardly.
