Firing squad....................
Y'don't just snap and become a pervert.
My guess (without reading a THING) is;
Some irate girl friend decided to get back at him and has made accusations he can't deny;
(Did you pick her up and your hand was on her panties ? (every dad has done it and every dad that has, has had a pang of, "Oh shit" BECAUSE of it) .... sign of the times)
I'll wait for more information, but that is my gut reaction.
'Course if the guy DOES turn out to be a perv ... cut it off and teach him to sit.
A member of the Mr. Potato Head club. Sgt. Maj Sixta from Generation Kill is doing serious time for a similar thing.
If these charges are true, . . .
how did this guy move up the ranks?
As others have said, you don’t wake up at 55 and become a perv.
A couple things here. The military doesn’t throw O-6s in pretrial confinement on “he-said/she-said” evidence. This is probably related to his AWOL and he’s therefore a potential flight risk. It also speaks volumes about how strong the evidence is. Why would he be a flight risk if the evidence is flimsy to nonexistent?
And officers who are facing these sorts of charges ALWAYS fight hard at the Article 32 level to try to make the waters murky enough to get command to opt for a RILO (resignation in lieu of) court-martial. His not opting for that fight also speaks volumes.
Sometimes criminals look like ordinary people. But this guy looks like a creep.
