CIVILIAN COURT-MARTIAL DEFENSE LAWYERS: SUCCESSFUL MILITARY RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT DEFENSES IN CASES FROM 2021-2025 (UCMJ Article 120)

 

Military Defense Lawyer (Former JAG Attorney) News:

Recently, we were asked to provide examples of some of our cases in which we have successfully defended against military rape and sexual assault allegations in the past few years.

Our blog is filled with posts about alleged rape and sexual assault cases in the military, including descriptions of some of the cases we have defended over the many years of our military legal defense practice.  While we won’t go back and re-post every blog post on this topic, we did feel it could be helpful to provide some posts from the past few years in order to make the point that although the military justice system is focused on prosecuting rape and sexual assault allegations, these cases are not hopeless.  With strong attorneys to advocate your case, and a solid defense strategy born from decades of military court-martial defense experience, successful case outcomes can be achieved. 

Below, please find some descriptions of military rape and/or sexual assault cases defended by civilian court-martial defense attorney Richard V. Stevens over the past few years (2021-2025) that were successfully defended and/or dropped.  There are 26 cases described.  To us, this represents 26 military clients and their families who were saved from the devastation of a military (federal) sex crime conviction and possible prison sentence, loss of military career and benefits, and possible sex offender registration.

While these serious sexual assault allegations in these military court-martial cases were successfully defended, it is important to understand that every case has different facts, and success in previous cases does not guarantee success in any particular future case. No military lawyer or civilian defense lawyer, including those who specialize in military law, can guarantee the outcome of any military trial or case.

In addition to the sexual assault allegations in these cases, Attorney Richard V. Stevens has defended many, many other allegations of rape and sexual assault and physical assault within the military justice system over the course of decades. He has been practicing military law since 1995.
