Let this be an example of why I have always advocated against getting drunk and having sex in the barracks:

An airman on trial for the April rape of a female airman in her dorm was found guilty Friday and sentenced to two years in prison and a dishonorable discharge.

Senior Airman Calvin Wheeler Jr.’s rank also was reduced to the military’s lowest pay grade, E-1, and he must forfeit all pay and allowances. He was a member of the 51st Communications Squadron.

A six-member jury of Air Force commissioned officers handed down the verdict Friday morning and imposed sentencing Friday afternoon on one charge each of rape and adultery.

The victim definitely had some creditbility issues but there must have been enough evidence presented to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt. To bad he didn’t think about this before getting drunk and having sex with her:

Wheeler noted that as a convicted rapist, he likely would have to register as a sex offender. He said he did not know how he would find the words to explain to his sons his status as a convicted rapist.

I don’t feel sorry for him because he put himself in the situation especially as a married man. Hopefully others can learn from this.
