Someone sends us a link on Stars & Stripes<\/a> about Cmdr. John Michael Neuhart II who commanded a helicopter squadron in Guam until he came to San Diego for a conference last year. He went out for drinks with his fellow conference attendees, which was his first mistake. One of the people there had been in his squadron until she transferred to San Diego to be flight instructor.<\/p>\n

Security video from the downtown Manchester Grand Hyatt hotel, where they were drinking, was shown in court. The woman can be seen staggering, barely standing up at some points, with Neuhart\u2019s arm around her as they walk down a hall and use an elevator.<\/p>\n

She testified earlier in the trial that she became very drunk and ended up taking a ride-share or cab with Neuhart to her Valencia Park home. She said he pulled off her pants and nearly raped her as she repeatedly screamed at him to stop and leave.<\/p>\n

Neuhart testified Tuesday and Wednesday that they discussed having sex at her house before they left the hotel. He said he \u201cwaffled\u201d about it because he is married, with five children, and because he was her superior officer \u2014 a violation of military fraternization rules.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Always go with that “waffle” feeling, unfortunately, our hero didn’t.<\/p>\n

After letting Neuhart into her house, where they kissed and hugged, she ordered him out. He went around to the back door and set up his cellphone to record on video his repeated efforts to get inside again. Neuhart testified that he did so to have proof that, if they had sex, it was consensual.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, if you need to video a sexual encounter to prove it was consensual, you know things are going badly. He told the court that he thought “no” meant “yes”. He’s toast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
