Common Types of Military Sex Crimes

Military sex crimes encompass a range of offenses that involve unwanted sexual behavior within the armed forces. Our experienced attorneys have handled cases involving various types of military sex crimes, including:

  • Sexual Assault: This crime involves engaging in non-consensual sexual activity, often involving force or coercion. It can occur between service members and civilians, resulting in serious legal consequences.
  • Rape: Similar to sexual assault, rape involves engaging in sexual activity without the victim's consent, often through force, threats, or intimidation.
  • Sexual Harassment: Military regulations strictly prohibit sexual harassment within the armed forces. This offense includes unwelcome advances, comments, or behaviors of a sexual nature that create a hostile environment.
  • Indecent Exposure: Indecent exposure involves intentionally exposing one's private parts in a public or semi-public setting, causing discomfort or distress to others. This offense can have significant repercussions within the military justice system.
  • Aggravated Sexual Contact: This crime entails engaging in sexual contact with another person by force, threat, or while the victim is unconscious or incapable of giving consent. 

What are the Penalties for Sex Crimes in the Military?

The penalties for military sex crimes can be severe and life-altering. Depending on the severity of the offense and the outcome of the legal proceedings, potential consequences include:

  • Imprisonment: Conviction for a military sex crime can lead to substantial periods of confinement in a military prison, ranging from years to life, depending on the offense.
  • Discharge: A conviction can result in a dishonorable discharge, which can negatively impact a service member's military and civilian life.
  • Rank Reduction: A service member found guilty of a sex crime may face a demotion in rank, affecting their career progression and benefits.
  • Sex Offender Registration: Depending on the nature of the offense and the jurisdiction, a conviction for certain military sex crimes may require registration as a sex offender.
  • Loss of Benefits: Convicted individuals may lose access to various military benefits, including pensions, healthcare, and educational opportunities. 

Defenses Against Military Sex Crime Charges

At Aviso Law, we understand that every case is unique, and we approach each one with a tailored defense strategy. Some potential defenses against military sex crime charges include:

  • Consent: In some cases, it may be possible to demonstrate that the sexual activity was consensual, which can undermine the prosecution's case.
  • Lack of Evidence: Insufficient or unreliable evidence can weaken the prosecution's ability to prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
  • False Accusations: Unfortunately, false accusations can and do occur. Our legal team will meticulously investigate the allegations' circumstances to uncover any inconsistencies or motives for false reporting.
  • Violation of Rights: If your rights were violated during the investigation or legal proceedings, such as a failure to read you your Miranda rights, it could impact the admissibility of evidence.
