Perhaps due to feminist pressure, Air Force drops court-martial against Cassandra Hernandez
Background: Feminists have been vociferously protesting the case of Cassandra Hernandez (pictured). They claim she is the victim of a gang rape, who then was re-victimized by the military when they brought charges against her of underage drinking and committing indecent acts.
I was surprised and disturbed by the case, and asked one of my most intelligent readers, Stan Eads, to review the information in the case. I did not ask him to find reasons why the feminists are wrong–I told him, “what you find is what you find.”
Stanton researched the issue and has come to the conclusion that the feminists have a legitimate cause for protest here. Based on his research, I think the facts surrounding the alleged rape are murky, and that the feminists may well be correct.
To read what Stan found, as well as the feminist view of the case and other information, see my blog post Are Feminist Protesters Correct on the Cassandra Hernandez Rape Case?
Perhaps in response to feminist pressure, the Air Force has decided that Cassandra Hernandez will not face a court-martial for charges of underage drinking and committing indecent acts. The article, from Kelcey Carlson and Anne Leake of WRAL in North Carolina, is below.
Alleged Air Force Rape Victim Won’t Face Court Martial
(WRAL, 9/14/07)
Pope Air Force Base — An Air Force enlisted woman who claimed to be the victim of a rape at Pope Air Force Base will not face a court-martial for offenses stemming from the case, the military announced.
Airman First Class Cassandra Hernandez had been scheduled to face a court-martial on Sept. 24 for charges of underage drinking and committing indecent acts.
Instead, 43rd Airlift Wing Commander Col. Timothy Zadalis administered nonjudicial punishment for the underage drinking charge. He also decided nonjudicial punishment was inappropriate for the indecent acts allegation and handled that charge through administrative action, a Pope spokesperson said.
Hernandez may appeal the rulings and submit information in response to the administrative action, officers said. She will remain in the Air Force.
“The actions taken are meant to be rehabilitative,” Capt. Beverly G. Mock said in a press release. “The Air Force and the 43rd Airlift Wing Commander expect that Airman Hernandez will successfully continue to serve the Air Force and the nation.”
The charges stemmed from events at a party on May 13, 2006. Hernandez reported to military officials that she was gang-raped by three other airmen at the party. (more…)

men will NEVER get justice. we like sex to much. the only answer is to stay away from women as much as possible and tune them out. if the need for sex consumes you, protect yourself at all times and always be very very picky! remember, the rules are made for women, not men. if you don’t understand that basic truth, you are a moron. wise up.

This female goes to a military party with no underwear (planning to have sex), then gets extremely drunk. She then goes into a private room with three drunken airmen and flashes her tits, and then pulls down her pants to show she is not wearing any underwear and we are supposed to believe that she was raped. No way, it is very clear what happened here, a drunk female, uninhibited and no underwear with a bunch of drunken males that are also uninhibited. So she spreads her legs while drunk and sobers up with nothing but regrets. A female in the military MUST be held accountable for her actions and she should STOP blaming men for her bad decisions (meaning, no allegations of rape should have been brought forward).
So she wasn’t raped, but felt guilty after having sex with three men. Maybe she wanted to have sex with the first guy, and second guy was kind of cute, but that third one was just too much. So she must blame the men involved, not herself for her conduct. She claims rape to reduce her guilt ridden feelings. Only to feel guiltier about the punishment these three young men will receive if convicted, which could be life in prison. Of course, Mary Winkler does 67 days for murder, but rape is a life sentence in the military (feminized society). She does the right thing by not lying in court, but does not want to be punished for her conduct and the femini-nazi are all too happy to help her. So once again the men get punished and the woman goes free.
The military was NOT doing these three young men any favors by trying to forcing her to testify. They wanted these guys to hang. The feminist spin is unbelievable.

As a student of paradigm constructionism…
The rape hysteria construction is very powerfull!!
It induces in men..(mostly the under-educated men) a primal instinct to protect, and a state of violence/lynching is quick to fallow an accussation of rape/domestic abuse!!
Abusing Rape hysteria to get innocent men locked up is not conduceive to womens long term plans for equality!!
