Military sexual assault charges under UCMJ Article 120 represent one of the most serious threats to a service member’s career and freedom, carrying penalties ranging from 7 years to life imprisonment depending on the severity of the offense, along with dishonorable discharge and complete forfeiture of military benefits. Joseph L. Jordan, a former Army JAG officer turned defense attorney, provides worldwide representation to military personnel accused of sexual assault, emphasizing that false accusations can destroy careers just as readily as legitimate cases, particularly given the military’s heightened focus on prosecuting these crimes following widespread reform efforts. The firm highlights how military culture, command structures, and living arrangements contribute to both higher rates of sexual assault and increased vulnerability to false accusations, while offering comprehensive defense strategies including alibi, mistaken identity, consent, and challenging insufficient evidence. Service members facing these charges need immediate legal representation since the military justice system moves swiftly through investigation, Article 32 hearings, and potential court-martial proceedings, with commanders wielding significant discretion over how cases proceed within the chain of command.
