According to Popular Military, he was convicted for abusive sexual contact with a child. <\/p>\n<p>PM says that even though he was originally sentenced to reduction to Specialist (E-4) and 30 months confinement, he pleaded out and only got six months of confinement. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/story\/military\/crime\/2015\/09\/18\/army-releases-results-august-courts-martial\/72396422\/\">The Army Times<\/a> confirms that his plea got his sentence reduced;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Fort Carson, Aug. 5:<br \/>\nName: Sgt. Maj. Virgil L. Ebrecht<br \/>\nConviction: By a military judge, pursuant to his plea, of one specification of abusive sexual contact of a child.<br \/>\nSentence: Reduced to the grade of E-4, confined for 30 months. As part of an offer to plead guilty, a pretrial agreement limited confinement to six months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>AKO confirms that he was reduced to E-4, but he remains assigned to the Space Battalion. I&#8217;m not sure how personnel clerks handle assignments when folks are serving six months confinement, or where the Specialist is serving that sentence, but I&#8217;m sure that he won&#8217;t remain in the service after his sentence is served. The implication in the PM article is that Ebrecht is still on active duty, but, I can&#8217;t imagine that he would even want to serve among the soldiers he led a few short months ago, and now he&#8217;s a sex offender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobo sends us this link from Popular Military which tells us of the court martial of &hellip; <a title=\"Virgil Ebrecht; Sergeant Major to Specialist\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61978\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Virgil Ebrecht; Sergeant Major to Specialist<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61980,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dumbass-bullshit"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/61980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
