E-3 Marine engaged in a consensual sexual relationship with another Marine in his unit. When he decided to break off the relationship, she threatened to report him for forcible sodomy on multiple occasions. Regrettably, she actually did it, and then bragged about it to other Marines in the unit. Our client’s chain of command immediately placed him in pretrial confinement in the Brig without any type of investigation. His family retained the services of JAG Defense. We immediately sought out witnesses, collected sworn statements and secured other evidence proving that she had fabricated the allegations against him as retaliation for breaking up with her. Within 36 hours of being retained, we secured our client’s release from the Brig. Ultimately, all charges were withdrawn and dismissed.
