What is the name of your state? Georgia
allegations of soliciting sex to a minor was a official charge brought by the U.S Navy. NCIS agents, Rick Redon and Mike Young interviewed, surveillances, and investigated myself, children, and neighbors. The Navy dropped to a lesser charge of inappropriate language where my husband is guilty of saying, "Are you messing with Chester?" The navy then added two charges, grand theft and false official statement. He was charged with violating Article 134. Negotiating between the prosecution and the defense where my husband signed an agreement that he must not seek legal representation or he will be tried to court-martial for order offenses (pictures of female friends the navy accuse of adultery). Signing the agreement, the Squardong agrees that he gets jailtime no more than 30 days, tried at a summary court, felonies dropped, rate reduction, and 1/2 months pay for two months deducted. Summary court held July 2005. Judgment that he's rank is reduce to E1 which forces him to be process out the military. Currently my husband paperwork has been denied by the Admiral lacking sufficient evidence to support that my husband's rank should be reduce to E1. Numerous occasions, my husband was called in to sign a different agreement that will breech his contract. I believe that he and I are victims of racial discrimination because four non-black sailors have violated other articles (Art. 98, 108, 112a, & 111)of the Military Uniform Code of Justice and remained attached to the squardon without a court-martial, rank or rate reduction. My husband is black and the 2nd black person to be temporary assigned outside the squardon. We will lose our benefits if he was to retire from the U.S navy. My goodwill with my neighbors are destroy because the navy slander my name. Emotionally, my husband has been working two jobs to make up the pay from the Navy and my children do not see my husband. My children were interview and question if my husband or I ever molested them. Recently my neighbors children were not allow to play with my children. I've wrote the the commanding office, Chip Dobson July 20, 2003. They did have an investigation but did not resolve the issues. Til this day, these four white-male continue to be promoted and remain within the squardon. The legal officer, LT Klechner was very unprofessional when dealing with civilians. I've attend both the mass and the summary court to support my husband and there were no witness on the prosecution side. His E-val is promotable after the fact he was charged, he's rec'd an award while on the U.S Washington while he was interrogated.

As a practical matter, such a lawsuit is very very difficult to prove. You would probably need a lot more evidence to have much chance of success, such as overt racist statements from key officials or a much bigger pattern of different treatment. Secondly, if your husband is guilty of any of the crimes charged (and he seems to have confessed) then the task is made even harder.

More interesting, however, is your statement that you husband agreed "not to seek legal representation." That is interesting. It is not uncommon for plea bargains to contain provisions that a person won't file certain legal motions ( i.e. appeals ), but they are normally signed *with* the advice of counsel. Did the navy actually induce your spouse to not even talk with a lawyer prior to getting him to sign a plea bargain? Let alone the strict legality, that raises policy and fairness issues.

Can a spouse sue the navy for discrimination?

yes he did have a lawyer to represent him to agree with the "table deal". The only hard evidience is the four men's mass and probably some paper trail stating their ranks where it was not reduce. He is the 2nd black person who was temporary assigned the MWR. The new legal officer of the command even advise him to fight it. His old attorney said that these charges are "add-on" for people who have serious crimes. He's is petty. How about customer service from Navy personnel towards a civilian? Yes it is hard to prove it if top officials make racial comments verbally. the only hard core evidence we got is the actual case where the found no evidence of child molestation. Instead of name the accused the documentation states "black male."
he was interrogated while he was out to sea (different jurisdication), interrogated again at a Georgia Naval Base (different jurisdication), and the supposely allegations happened at a Florida naval base (different jurisidation). Is the Navy in violation?
If I have not case there how about defamation of character vs navy and the 3 neighbors?

A reply to the first person that reply, how do you figure I have no case? State your reason? the Finger??????

So you are more concerned about other military members? Did they solicit children also? Lady, get your priorities straight.

You expect us to believe he got punished with NO evidence?

Of course I have my priorities in the right order. What if your nephew that you raise came home and told you he got his girlfriend pregnant? Do you want to be responsible for other kids that hang around your house (when your not home) might get their girlfriends pregnant? What would you do? Call the parent and tell their child not to come around the house knowing the girl's father is strict? You tell me whats right!!! Ask your child if you ever molestor her/him?? He was only guilty of asking the girl if she was "messing" around with Chester. What crime is that in the civilian world? So you are telling me having a DUI, grand theft like these so call sailors is not discrediting the military? having someome is a God-fearing man, with many naval awards to be discrediting? People like YOU that need to get a reality check! If you are not ashame why don't you disclose your username??? Reality check!
