Description

In 2013 his girlfriend at the time accused him of sexual assault. This accusation came amid surmounting pressure from Congressional leaders to curb sexual assault in the military. This environment was a product of the release of the 2012 documentary The Invisible War, which highlighted a "rape culture in the military," and created a situation where senior military leaders were focused on eliminating the "hook-up culture" from the Air Force. The filmmakers of The Invisible War credit the documentary for popularizing the #Me Too movement.

Despite the fact that the relationship itself was consensual, and there was not a single piece of evidence to suggest that
he committed the crimes for which he was accused, he was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

This journal details the injustice of the investigation, arrest, pretrial, trial, and conviction of an Invisible Casualty.
