Female Air Force trainer sentenced in sex scandal

May 3, 2013 @ 5:11 am

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - A female training instructor at a Texas Air Force base has been ordered to serve three months in jail after pleading guilty to having sex with a male student.

A military judge in San Antonio on Thursday also ordered Staff Sgt. Emily Allen to do 30 days of hard labor and reduced her rank to airman first class.

Allen was the first woman among more than 30 instructors at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland charged in what has turned into the military branch's worst sex scandal.

She pleaded guilty Wednesday to having sex with a male airman in 2011, seeking to have a sexual relationship with another male trainee plus having unprofessional social relationships with two female students.

    Why is KIRO making me look like an idiot?

    I made the above comment almost three weeks ago about a different story. I have no idea how the old comment was published here and there isn't any way to let KIRO know without an "E" mail.

    Get used to it, if you plan on posting on this site. Threads go on for literally years, changing subjects along the way. A person could post about a subject that has been put to rest months ago and it will be re-posted by some mystery person or entity that sneaks into the news room during dori's show, when the least number of people are listening, no one cares what he has to say anyway, and re-posts year old statements that have absolutely nothing to do with the current news topic. It's dori's fault. His ratings are so low that he comes in (not sober) and messes with the posts just for fun. He has no life, so what do you expect?
