A former Department of Defense civilian employee was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Sacramento to one year and eight months in prison for assaulting a U.S. military member in July 2020, a U.S. attorney and others said.
In a press statement, U.S. attorney Phillip A. Talbert said assault caused the victim to fall to the ground, strike his head on the pavement and suffer serious bodily injury. The evidence showed that, without immediate medical attention, which he received, the victim, who was not identified, could have died.
The charge was brought under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act, which establishes U.S. jurisdiction over certain offenses committed abroad by, among others, civilian employees of U.S. armed forces. The U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations and the FBI investigated this case, with assistance from the U.S. Army’s Criminal Investigation Division and the U.S. Marshals Service, in connection with the arrest, initial detention, and transport of Ray, Talbert noted in the prepared statement.
