Case: United States v. Schuler No. 98-0160
Date Of Conviction:  November 19, 1998
Plea: Guilty
Charges: Carnal Knowledge Of A 14 Year Old Child
Military Branch: U.S. Navy
Listed In National Sex Offenders Registry?   NO

A general court-martial composed of a military judge sitting alone convicted appellant, pursuant to his pleas, of carnal knowledge of a 14-year-old girl, in violation of Article 120, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC § 920.

He was sentenced to a bad-conduct discharge, confinement for 8 months, forfeiture of $250.00 pay per month for 8 months, and reduction to the lowest enlisted grade.

The convening authority approved these results, and the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed. 47 MJ 561 (1997).

Appellant's statements during the inquiry into his pleas suggested that, at the time of the offense in August 1994, he believed that his 14-year-old victim was of college age, as she allegedly had told him.

These statements did not affect the providence of his pleas because the defense of reasonable mistake of fact was not available at the time of the offense or the trial.

Appellant does not challenge the decision by the military judge at the time of trial to accept his pleas as provident
