U.S. v. E-5 United States Air Force
An Air Force Staff Sergeant is accused of the possession of child pornography and several misdemeanor level charges, facing fifteen years in prison. The airman retains Cave & Freeburg for the court-martial charges. At trial, Mr. Freeburg was able to show through cross-examination of the government’s digital forensic experts that there was not evidence of knowing possession of child pornography. Consequently, an enlisted panel acquitted the airman of the possession of child pornography and only convicted him of grabbing a person’s wrists and destroying a phone. He was sentenced to be reduced from E-5 to E-4 and twenty days of confinement.
Result: Not Guilty of All Child Pornography Charges, No Sex Offender Registration, No Punitive Discharge.
