Despite the CPS’s findings and the severity of the punishment it handed down, the Navy declined to prosecute the officer internally, effectively clearing him of all charges. He has received two promotions since being cleared.
A judge in the divorce hearing, believing these allegations an attempt to derail the officer’s career, declared the wife to be in contempt of court and sentenced her to 10 days in jail or a $5,000 fine.
And his evidence for this conclusion? Or does he believe that "innocent until proven guilty" and "beyond a reasonable doubt" means that if there's not enough proof than the accuser is lying and must be punished?
I don't know how deviant the handling of this case was, but now that it's so public, I'll bet it sort of gets re-opened. And maybe even inquiry into how it got so comfortably closed in the first place.
