What the NCIS File Says

A Navy service member at MESG-1 Detachment Guam reported that another service member exposed his penis to her while she was on duty.

NCIS records say the accused acknowledged exposing himself to multiple people during a Chief of the Guard board study session and admitted sending sexually explicit text messages, while claiming it was all done in a joking manner.

Investigators searched his personal cell phone with consent and found text messages that corroborated the victims' allegations.

The investigation also documented an earlier reported exposure during physical training near Gab Gab Beach and a prior possible exposure aboard USNS Mary Sears when someone was trying to retrieve a radio from his room.

At Captain's Mast, command found the accused guilty of Article 92 and Article 120c violations, imposed suspended forfeiture of pay, reduced him to E-3, and began administrative separation processing.
