Airman First Class Scott E. Falk, United States Air Force, was tried by military judge alone at a general court-martial convened at Travis Air Force Base, California, on October 7, 1996.
In the Spring of 1996, the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) conducted a criminal investigation of Falk as a result of larceny allegations. During this investigation, Falk’s wife informed the OSI that Falk had stored on the hard drive of his computer numerous pictures of children engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
A search warrant was executed, and on June 5, 1996, 126 images depicting minors engaging in various sex acts were downloaded from Falk’s computer hard drive. Before downloading the images from Falk’s computer, investigators found several computer directories that contained images of child pornography. Most of these images were filed in a directory entitled "pre-teen." The minors who were depicted while engaged in child pornography were ages 6 to 16.
Falk knowingly possed three or more pictures which contain a visual depiction the production of which involved the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct and such visual depiction is of such conduct, on land or a building owned by or otherwise under the control of the Government of the United States, to wit: 9 Vandenberg Court, Travis Air Force Base, California, in violation of 18 USC § 2252.
Charges were originally preferred against Falk on July 2, 1996, pursuant to RCM 307, Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (1995 ed.).
Pursuant to his pleas, Falk was found guilty of 2 specifications of conspiracy to commit larceny, larceny, making a false claim, larceny of mail matter, and possessing child pornography, in violation of Articles 81, 121, 132, and 134, Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 USC §§ 881, 921, 932, and 934, respectively.
The military judge sentenced Falk to a dishonorable discharge, confinement for 42 months, total forfeitures, and reduction to the lowest enlisted grade.
