Investigation and Negotiations Secure Chapter 10 in Army Sexual Assault Case

Maximum Sentence:

• DD

• Life in confinement

• Total forfeiture

• Reduction to E-1

• Federal felony conviction

• Sex offender registration

Weeks before his ETS date, an Army Staff Sergeant stationed at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii was charged with rape, aggravated sexual assault, and assault of multiple victims at a general court martial. Tim Bilecki was retained to defend the case.

Immediately upon being retained, Tim Bilecki began investigating the case to uncover inconsistencies in the alleged victims’ stories and their possible motives to fabricate evidence.

Our client’s main goal was to avoid a conviction at all costs and, if possible, to preserve his Post-9/11 GI Bill. We worked directly with the Special Victim Prosecutor in this case and were able to get Chapter 10 Separation in Lieu of Court-Martial approved, protecting the client from any conviction and allowing him to utilize his GI Bill, based on a prior Honorable Discharge.

After the Chapter 10 was approved, all charges were dismissed.
