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. Hawaii court martial lawyer Tim Bilecki was retained to defend the case.
Immediately upon being retained, Tim Bilecki, military defense attorney for UCMJ Article 120 sexual assault offenses in Hawaii, 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.
