The Air Force has dropped a criminal indecency charge filed against a female airman who refused to testify against another airman she had accused of rape, her lawyer said Friday.

The commander of the 43rd Airlift Wing at Pope Air Force Base decided this week to drop the indecency charge, which alleged sex in the presence of others, said Capt. Chris Eason, an attorney for Airman 1st Class Cassandra Hernandez.

Hernandez' attorneys have said they believed the charge was filed in retaliation for her refusal to testify.

The 20-year-old had been scheduled for a Sept. 24 court-martial and could have faced up to a year in prison. Instead, Hernandez pleaded guilty to underaged drinking and received a nonjudicial punishment, Eason said.
