NCIS records say a complaint alleged sexual assault aboard USNS Supply while the ship was in port at Augusta Bay, Italy. The extracted closure report does not describe the alleged conduct, but it says the accused was found guilty at non-judicial punishment of indecent sexual assault and making a false official statement, reduced to E-4, fined about $450, and recommended for an Other-than-Honorable discharge.

What the NCIS File Says

The extracted USNS Supply file is short, but it records a concrete disciplinary outcome. NCISRA Sigonella received a complaint alleging sexual assault aboard USNS Supply while the ship was in port at Augusta Bay, Italy.

The closure report does not describe the alleged conduct. Instead, it points to a prior interim Report of Investigation for the underlying details and then records what happened at non-judicial punishment.

According to the extracted file, the accused was found guilty at NJP of indecent sexual assault and making a false official statement. The false-statement charge related to the written statement he made to NCIS denying wrongdoing.

The recorded punishment was reduction by one pay grade to E-4 and forfeiture of about $450. The accused was also recommended for an Other-than-Honorable discharge.

Why This Record Matters

  • The file records a rare clear NJP outcome in this batch.
  • The false-official-statement finding shows that accountability can attach both to alleged misconduct and to denials made to investigators.
  • The extracted closure report does not include the prior interim ROI, so the page should not invent details of the alleged conduct.
