A female ensign accused her subordinate, a decorated Chief Petty Officer named John Gonzales, of sexual assault. In a general court martial, the ensign told the jury she had no direct recollection of what happened in May 2010 after she, Gonzales and a group of sailors from the amphibious assault ship Bataan left a bar and went to Gonzales apartment.
Jurors took less than an hour to find Gonzales not guilty of aggravated sexual assault. Instead, they found him guilty of fraternization, a conviction that prevented him not only from re-enlisting in the navy but also from getting even a civilian job.
Gonzales' attorney said that the woman concocted the rape charge to cover up for her own admitted fraternization.

No offense but a personal blog called the Community of the Wrongly Accused, the successor to the False Rape Society isn’t exactly what I’d turn to as a trusted, reputable, and certainly not unbiased source. Just sayin’.
