Sexual Offense Charges under UCMJ Article 120

The term “sexual offense” is a broad label for a spectrum of crimes that vary greatly in severity. Although all allegations are taken very seriously, there are many factual circumstances that can lead to this kind of charge. A common environment for these sorts of accusations is the military party scene. Many members of the military are young and perhaps have not fully developed a strong sense of judgment or maturity. When social settings get out of hand, people may make impaired decisions or misunderstand the intentions of another individual in those settings.

Article 120 covers everything from indecent exposure to aggravated sexual assault. It also covers offenses against minors.
