Within the US Armed Forces, certain sex acts are considered improper sexual conduct and can result in a court-martial. Under Article 120 of the UCMJ, a military court is granted the discretion to punish any actions that bring discredit or dishonor to the Armed Forces.

What Qualifies as Improper Sexual Conduct?

While this concept is relatively vague, Article 120 acts as a catch-all umbrella provision that could potentially cover any type of indecent sexual conduct that isn’t already defined in Article 120. These acts often include:

  • Adultery
  • Homosexuality or homosexual acts
  • Nontraditional sexual arrangements
  • Misconduct between an officer and his or her subordinate
  • Consensual acts that are otherwise considered indecent

Many officers accused of sexual misconduct could also be charged under Article 133, which also encompasses a wide range of acts that the military deems inappropriate. In adultery cases, the prosecution must show that the adultery harmed the reputation of the US Military. Your attorney will fight to disprove the adultery or prove that it did not impact your military service and thus should not be prosecuted as a military crime.
