Sexual Abuse/Assault
For too many military personnel with promising careers and an enduring commitment to their branch of the Armed Forces, a sexual abuse/assault accusation can be devastating. Not only does an accusation open up the possibility of dishonorable discharge or confinement, but it can destroy a budding career and make it hard to obtain a thorough and fair trial. However, there are options for those accused of military sexual abuse and assault.
The severity and circumstances of the accusation will dictate which court martial you face as an accused sexual abuser or assaulter. Prior to your military trial, you may face a lengthy investigation, which can include invasive interrogation tactics and searches to produce evidence for use during trial. Once you are on the stand, damaging and reputation-destroying evidence can be brought against you to make the case for severe punishment. With even the mention of sexual abuse or assault enough to jeopardize a career, it's more important than ever for a serviceman to seek help in the form of an experienced and skillful military defense lawyer as soon as possible after the accusation surfaces.
