SAN ANTONIO -- A U.S. Air Force basic training instructor was
sentenced to 30 days in jail on Thursday and had his rank reduced after
being convicted of improper sexual misconduct at a court martial, one of
seven cases in the worst military sex scandal since 1996.
Tech. Sgt. Christopher Smith, 33, received his punishment after the seven-member jury deliberated for five hours. The sentencing, which capped a three-day court-martial at the base, includes a reduction in rank to airman first class.
Smith was convicted Wednesday of seeking to develop an intimate relationship with one female trainee and fraternizing with another at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. He was acquitted of making sexual advances on the female trainee he pursued and of obstructing justice.
