Italy: Representative Case Results

Outcomes at or Involving Italy

U.S. v. E-7

A Sailor was accused of violating federal anti-sex trafficking laws while stationed overseas and adultery by having sex with a prostitute. NCIS never bothered to do a basic investigation which would have established the likelihood of a defense to the charges while Mr. Philip Cave conducted a full investigation and prepared a robust defense. After the prosecution presented their case to the members the defense motion to dismiss everything but the adultery allegation was dismissed under R.C.M. 917. After that the members found the client not guilty of the adultery.

Result: Full Acquittal on All Charges, No Federal Conviction, No Discharge.

U.S. v. O-4(retired)

A retired Army Major is accused of child sexual assault years in the past.  While the case is under investigation, Cave & Freeburg, LLP, is retained and Mr. Freeburg works to prepare a defense should the case be brought to trial while communicating with Army CID and the Office of Special Trial Counsel to explain the weaknesses with the case.  Ultimately, the Army agrees that there is not even probable cause!  Consequently, the case is dropped and no charges are brought against the Major.

Result: Charges Dismissed.  No Federal Conviction, No Sex Offender Registration, No Dishonorable Discharge.
