Yes they are both right, but she just showed poor judgment. He on the other hand committed a crime.

If he did what she says he did, then he did commit a crime.

That's a matter of conjecture and he-said-she-said.

What is fact, and incontrovertible, is that by her own admission she stupidly placed herself in a dangerous situation.

Yes they are both right, but she just showed poor judgment. He on the other hand committed a crime.

Well, yes, based entirely on her testimony.

This reminds me a bit of the woman who charged the baseball player, David Cone, with rape. She said she sought him out at his hotel room. He answered the door naked. She then offered to go in and massage him in that state. Later she claimed that he raped her.

Is it possible that he raped her? Sure. However, because of her actions, it was impossible to prove in court.

No one except the two involved know what actually happened
that night.

However, many questions remain to be answered,

1. Did she scream for help?

2. Did she report the incident immediately it occurred? Did she tell anyone at the party?

3. Did she suffer any trauma and see a medical officer that evening?

4. Did she have a previous relationship with the accused?

All these questions were probably addressed at the hearing,
and a JAG attorney reviewed the case. There are two sides of every case and here we only have one side with many facts left out.

It achieves its aim of besmirching the Academy and an officer who cannot answer back. Jumping to conclusions
on thin evidence still remains a national sport.

Which ever side of the fence you decide fits the scenerio,
there can be no doubt that this young lady is not fit for a commission in the Air Force.

And SHE encouraged the crime until the last minute!!!
