Fort Jackson, South Carolina: Representative Case Results
Outcomes at or Involving Fort Jackson, South Carolina
U.S. v. E-6 United States Army
Staff Sergeant is accused of the sexual assault of a civilian by anal penetration as well as aggravated assault by strangulation. Both charges involved acts during a night of casual, consensual sex. Mr. Nathan Freeburg was retained after the preferral of charges and conducted an in-depth investigation into the allegations. Mr. Freeburg discovered that the alleged victim (who was a rape counselor) made the allegations as result of her mental instability and need for self-authenticity as a “victim.” At trial, Mr. Freeburg used a robust cross-examination of the alleged victim as well as of the government’s strangulation expert in front of an Army panel to destroy the government’s case. The panel only took 65 minutes to return a verdict of “Not Guilty!”
Result: Full Acquittal on All Charges, No Federal Conviction, No Sex Offender Registration, No Dishonorable Discharge.
