Servicewoman Gets 4 Months for Threesome

(Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany) A 22-year-old Airman 1st Class, Ashley N. Rains, pleaded guilty at court-martial on Monday to two indecent acts. Rains was originally charged with rape and sodomy for engaging in an alcohol-induced menage a trois with a male airman and a female staff sergeant but those charges were dropped in accordance with a plea agreement.

Judge (Col.) Gordon Hammock sentenced Rains, an aircrew life support specialist, to four months confinement and reduction to the lowest pay grade.

The other airman, Christopher D. Hicks, faces court-martial for rape and sodomy on May 30th. The female staff sergeant wasn't charged in the case because Air Force lawyers said she was too drunk to be an active participant in the threesome.
