Quote:
The charges allege she performed an indecent act on one man while the other two were witnesses, defense lawyers said.
A court-martial has been scheduled for Sept. 24 at the air base adjacent to Fort Bragg, Drohan said, and it will be open to the public.
If convicted on both counts, the woman could face up to a year in jail, reduction in rank, a cut in pay in allowances, a possible bad conduct discharge and be required to register as a sex offender, her defense lawyers said.

There's got to be a lot we don't know. I can only think of one possible scenario in which these charges make sense. That is if they have good reason to believe she planned the whole thing in order to file false rape charges. If that was the case, they would try to convict her of something which would force her to register as a sex offender. Simply filing a false report wouldn't rise to that level.
