A sexual assault accusation at Peterson Space Force Base can end your military career in an instant. Under Article 120 of the UCMJ, a military court can impose severe penalties for sexual assault convictions—including federal prison, a dishonorable discharge, and mandatory sex offender registration. If you are stationed at Peterson SFB and facing these allegations, you need an experienced military defense attorney on your side immediately.
What Constitutes Sexual Assault Under the UCMJ?
Article 120 of the UCMJ is the primary statute governing sexual assault offenses in the military. Charges prosecuted at Peterson Space Force Base can include:
- Rape
- Sexual assault
- Aggravated sexual contact
- Abusive sexual contact
- Sexual acts committed by force, threat, or against an incapacitated victim
The military’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program has significantly increased reporting and prosecution rates at installations like Peterson SFB. Even an accusation—before any conviction—can trigger removal from duties, housing changes, and reputational damage. Acting quickly to secure legal counsel is essential to protecting your rights.

Stationed at Peterson Space Force Base? Here’s What You’re Facing
Peterson Space Force Base, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serves as the headquarters of Space Operations Command (SpOC) and is home to multiple Space Deltas responsible for critical national security missions. The base transitioned from Air Force to Space Force in 2021, and while the command structure has changed, service members remain fully subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. If you are a Space Force Guardian or Air Force member assigned to Peterson SFB, a sexual assault allegation will be investigated by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) — one of the most experienced and well-resourced investigative agencies in the military.
Courts-martial proceedings for Peterson SFB personnel are typically conducted on the installation or at a nearby military legal facility in the Colorado Springs area. The proximity of multiple major installations — including the Air Force Academy, Schriever SFB, and Fort Carson — means that military prosecutors in this region handle a high volume of cases and are experienced in Article 120 prosecution. Having a defense attorney who is equally familiar with this environment is essential.
