The "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" is strong in this one.
Interestingly, one of the officers on his appeal board was LTC Kate Germano https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/local/marine/ He’d been fighting to prove it ever since two young women accused the former history instructor at the U.S. Naval Academy of having sex with them while they were students. One of the women said the 2011 liaison — amid a drunken night of strip poker at his Annapolis home — was consensual and part of an ongoing relationship. The other called it rape. At his court-martial, a nine-member jury had acquitted Thompson of the sexual assault charge but still found him guilty of five lesser offenses, including conduct unbecoming an officer, indecent conduct and fraternization. The verdict devastated him, marring a career and reputation he’d built for more than two decades. On June 3, 2013, the combat veteran was sentenced to two months’ confinement in a military prison and fined $60,000, though his jurors stopped short of kicking him out of the service. |

as a former Army JAG prosecutor and defense counsel, I can say this:
1. Of all the appellate cases in which convictions were overturned for shady police work, NCIS was involved in the vast majority of them. 2. The officer corps is mercilessly moralistic and holier-than-thou. I'm not surprised at the one juror who said WTTE "lotsa holes in both stories, but it seemed something improper happened." HEY DUMBASS, THAT IS NOT PROOF BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT. I had an O-6 brigade commander tell me once that a mere allegation of a "zipper problem" was as good as a conviction in his mind. So, I immediately asked him what he thought would happen if I left his office, went to the CG, and said "COL X solicited me for oral sex." He got the point. |

Major is full of shit.
He knowingly lied to someone he hoped would help exonerate him, leaving out damning details. He knowingly lied to the Board of Inquiry. I doubt the threesome was rape, whether forecful or due to her intoxication. I think the girl regretted it later. He seems pretty slimey to me. Hopefully the Appeals Board will pound his dick in a door for perjury at the Board of Inquiry. |

I think I'll make a complaint against a squadron commander for throwing a (n excellent) 4th of July barbeque at his home for several of the young and impressionable airmen in his squadron.
We got really, really drunk on a vodka infused watermelon. Beer and booze everywhere, there might have been a minor present. No telling what happened, it was a hot, disorienting day near Denver. Someone probably did something embarrassing, such as take off their shirts. BBQ's hamburgers, WTF, we should have had steak. |

Speaking from my experience as a sex crimes detective for years...
Ever since regret became the socially accepted basis for rape, no one man is being treated fairly. |

A good friend of mine is a defense attorney and he's pulled quite a few "rape by regret" cases. Those cases should be hammered as hard or harder than it would have gone on the defendant. |

My parents are both teachers, my dad was at the college level.
I cannot fathom a reason why a student would ever have either of their personal phone numbers. Or even know their address, let alone visit their house. |

He should know better. Never put yourself into a position that can be questioned for any impropriety.

I still have students here often, mostly foreign nationals - at least two will be staying here for spring break next week. Not an exciting place to spend spring break, but it's comfier than their digs back at the school. |

Bottom line, you're an instructor in e military, you don't fraternize with your subordinates. It's that fucking simple, you set yourself up for an all pain no gain circumstance where you have the most to lose. Who cares if it was consensual, he was an idiot to put himself in that situation.

This is one of one million circumstances that everyone past E-3 knows will end in potential career death. They know it. Everyone does.
Just playing strip poker with the subordinates and not fucking anyone was enough. Probably just drinking with them was enough. Risk vs gain. Obviously .mil pussy is apparently fucking magical enough to make people willing to throw away real careers (CO's, SNCOs' CWO's etc) |

I guess he can forget about ever seeing O-5. View Quote He's got bigger problems than that.

Just finished the article. Thompson is facing some serious problems.
Approaching a reporter to tell your carefully guided half of a story to save your retirement and security clearance ... only to have the reporter blow up your story with evidence to the contrary? Ouch. Monumentally stupid. |

Why any guy in any service ever hooks up with a female service member is beyond me. Playing with fire. All they need is to get pissed at you or have a tinge of regret and Boom, your shit is done. Although in his case plenty of UCMJ seems deserved.

Giving the team manager your number? I'd think a coach would want the equipment manager to communicate with him, yes? Having mids over? Not that big a deal. In fact, faculty are encouraged it. It is the "going running" meetings that are more concerning. That and being alone with a subordinate of the opposite sex, no matter how innocuous is bad juju. The final word though, is that she lied and lied about another inappropriate relationship. Rape is serious business. She should be in jail for the false accusation. |
