Army Major Found Guilty of Raping Soldier
US Army MAJ Jeffrey Brown was found guilty of rape:
A U.S. Army major found guilty of raping one young enlisted service member and maintaining a sexual relationship with another was sentenced late Tuesday to four years in prison.
A jury of five officers ?four male and one female ?found Maj. Jeffrey L. Brown guilty of rape and fraternization earlier in the day, the second day of his two-day court martial.
The jurors, however, found him innocent of sodomy and stripped the words “sexual relations and sodomy?from one of the two specifications of fraternization.
Brown also was found guilty of violating a lawful general order for breaking the military curfew in June. He is to forfeit all pay and allowances and be dismissed from the Army as part of the sentence.
This guy is found guilty of rape and other offenses and receives only 4 years in prison? Now compare this with the 1-43 ADA private who raped a fellow soldier in the Suwon barracks that received a six year sentence. Can a lawyer please tell me how this works out? It seems to me that an officer would receive greater punishment for the same offense than a private. This case comes on the heels of the lenient punishment given to 1LT Davis last month. USFK says their against sexual assault and rape yet lightly sentence those who commit it. This major just like the Suwon private are both dirt bags that should be doing at least the same amount of hard time for their crimes. I’m sick of these scum bags smearing the rest of us that are over here doing the right things and staying out of trouble.
