#USArmy ofcls said Wed that the service has brought #SexualAssault #charges against a #military #doctor in… a sprawling case involving at least 23 alleged victims.
Maj #MichaelStockin, 37, is charged in what could be one of the military’s largest #SexualAbuse cases in years…. An #Army spox, Cynthia Smith, said in a statement that the “general nature of the charges include abusive sexual contact & indecent viewing,” both in violation of #MilitaryLaw.

Our #MLTF 2023-2024 crowdsourced fundraiser is under way!
We are seeking to raise $6k to fund the part-time salary of our executive director Kathleen Gilberd and to fund our other essential operations.
To learn about the MLTF (Military Law Task Force of the #NLG) and its history and current work in pro-servicemember civil rights work (but from a solidly anti-militarist/imperialist perspective), visit nlgmltf.org.

Sharing this end-of-year fundraising pitch from a group that I have worked with for many years, the Military Law Task Force of the #NationalLawyersGuild.
I strongly recommend the MLTF, in large part because it covers a unique area of work --- supporting individual servicemembers and veterans, but from an #AntiImperialist / #AntiMilitarist perspective.
P.S. If you can't afford to give right now, please boost!
