An Army major faces sexual assault-related charges involving at least 20 alleged victims in the Washington D.C. area over a roughly three-year period.


The Army’s Office of Special Trial Counsel confirmed to Army Times Thursday that the office preferred three charges that include 76 specifications of sexual assault-related charges on Oct. 16 against Maj. Jonathan J. Batt, who is assigned to the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center in Crystal City, Virginia.

A military preliminary hearing officer at a Nov. 1 hearing recommended that the charges against Batt be referred court-martial, officials said, and the special trial counsel office will make the final call as to whether the charges go forward.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
