What Bullshit! That Air Force Cadet Got 9 Month's In Jail For Running a Porn Site. - GoFuckYourself.com

What a bullshit raw deal to lockup a student in jail for 9 months for running a lame little porn site. Our system needs a major legal overhaul. That is just so wrong.

Air Force Cadet Pleads in Porn Case

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. - A senior cadet at the Air Force Academy pleaded guilty Wednesday to running a pornographic Web site from his dorm room and using his school computer to organize off-campus orgies.

Cadet 1st Class Sterling Barnes, 24, of Topeka, Kan., appeared near tears when he heard his sentence: nine months confinement, a dishonorable discharge, and the forfeiting of pay and benefits from his four years at the academy, which could total more than $120,000. He was immediately taken into custody.

"He valued sex and money above honor and dignity," said lead prosecutor Capt. Annice Barber, who had sought an 18-month sentence.

The soft-spoken Barnes acknowledged to the military court that what he did was wrong. "I cannot say how sorry I am to the court, my fellow cadets, the Air Force and my family," he said before sentencing. "There is no one to blame but myself for these actions."

The charges further tarnished the academy, which has been under scrutiny because at least 142 women have come forward to report sexual assaults, with many saying they faced retribution from superiors. The military is investigating and some commanders have been replaced.

Capt. Michael Freimann, the defense attorney, had argued for a 30- to 60-day confinement and no dismissal. He declined to say after sentencing whether he would appeal.

Barnes had faced up to 14 years' confinement for misusing government equipment and Internet services while organizing inappropriate activities off base. He also faced charges of conduct unbecoming an officer for arranging group sex.

Barnes was accused of sending e-mails to hundreds of people, and organizing and participating in sex sessions involving as many as two dozen men and one woman in nearby Colorado Springs and Denver.

He was accused of using the computer to sell videos of himself or others having sex, receiving up to $14 a video.

Barnes had been on leave from the Air Force since the spring and was not allowed to graduate from the academy.

I can understand the discharge and paying for whatever computer time he used, but nearly a year in JAIL?

That is so ridiculous. He didn't hurt or harm anyone.

BRISK · 10-01-2003, 09:50 PM

If he had ran gay sites he probably would have gotten the full 14 years.

grogan · 10-01-2003, 09:51 PM

that's fair.

it's the rules, know em, or risk some serious trouble as a cadet.

He did however harm the reputation of the Air Force. 9 months in a military prison... he got off lucky.

He was an officer of the Air Force and was tried as one, under their law. He knew what he was doing could bring severe punishment, now he has to pay.

sumphatpimp · 10-01-2003, 09:55 PM

he is not under civilian law, being in the military he is subject to the UCMJ, Uniform Code of Military Justice.

porn in the military is a big time crime, and being in the Air Force Academy makes it even worse.

He will do hard time for this.

You have no freedom or rights in the military, they own you, and you are told that on your very first day.

He knew what he was getting into, and he lost, its that simple.

BRISK · 10-01-2003, 09:59 PM

I wonder how they caught him?

KRL · 10-01-2003, 10:14 PM

We should start a Paypal Fund for him, put up a donate button on all our sites and make the kid a millionaire by the time he gets out.

Mr Pheer · 10-01-2003, 10:21 PM

in military prison you get 2 days off your sentence for every 1 day of good behavior. He will be out in three months.

well, this case is just about security.

I believe we should pay it more attention and always expect an unexpected.

that's the key to ignore just any government.

BVF · 10-02-2003, 09:27 AM

Anyone who has lived under the rules of the Uniform Code of Military Justice knows what bullshit it is....

I'm just glad I got out when I did...the UCMJ makes no fucking sense!

Nine months in jail for doing something that is legal in the real world...and that's in MILITARY JAIL....He won't get raped or anything like that but he's definitely going to do some hard labor....

<IMX> · 10-02-2003, 09:52 AM

Agreed. Academies are a killer deal for receipiants. One of my high school friends went to the Air Force academy...they said it is worth 250k.

Pretty foolish and greedy on his part they get monthly stipends, room, board, have a job lined up with grad school benefits and free health care...

The fucking media busted him. They had heard about the guy, set up an interview, did an expose type story on it, and the Air force found out.

This guy was the founding member of the Denver Horsemen, a really prominant interracial gangbang group. He was very careful with the interviews, he just picked the wrong people at the wrong time.

Yes, he used government equipment to run it. but, even if he had run it completly on his own, he would have still gotten busted. this is bullshit that he was doing something legal in the civillian world, and got busted for breaking military law. (BTW, the actual charges were "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" and having sex in the same room as another man. Fucking Homophobic crap!

sorry Stacy, but you do not know what you are talking about. It has nothing to do with homophobia.

The idiot wanted to be an officer, and by doing so he is expected to live up to certain standards, and he knew it when he first applied to the academy.

It is a life choice, he made it. He has no one to blame but himself.

The government misappropriates funds for personal gain on a daily basis, how many of them do you see going to jail? Being the government and serving under them is two diffrent stories.

They need to keep their reputation. So they threw the kid in jail. He probably spent a total of not more than $10.

But rules are rules im the millitary. Tried his luck with the wrong people. I'm curious to know under what code of the millitary he was convicted.

You can express yourself verbally as you please in the real world..
You can do lots of things in the real world that you can't do in the military world.

The real world as Constitutional rights where the military is at the mercy of the UCMJ..
If people don't agree with that policy, then don't join the military.. that simple....

I do apologize, the "homophobic" comment was based on a previous news story of what he was charged with.

http://www.af.mil/stories/story.asp?storyID=123005678 (notice the military .mil )

Barnes is charged with failing to obey a lawful order or regulation, a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He is also charged with using government-provided hardware and software to advertise and sell pornography for commercial gain, and with viewing, displaying, and storing obscene material using government-provided equipment.

The cadet is also charged with conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, for engaging in sexual intercourse with women while other men were present. Additionally, he is charged with pandering by arranging for more than one man other than himself to engage in acts of sexual intercourse with a woman, an action that is prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the armed forces.

VS What he was found guilty for http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,...670135,00.html

Barnes, 24, was found guilty of using government property for commercial gain and viewing, displaying and storing obscene material with government equipment. He was also found guilty of pandering and conduct that was unbecoming.
