The Military's Changing Sexual Assault Landscape - How the Revisions to Article 120 Have Impacted the Military
Davis Younts will discuss the military’s response to the new Article 120 (sex assault statute) promulgated by the National Discrimination Authorization Act of 2012. The presentation will address how the sex assault statute has changed, how prosecutions changed to include investigations and the creation of new investigative entities such as the Office of Complex Investigations (OCI).
Mr. Younts is an experienced trial attorney who has dedicated his legal career to defending the rights of individuals facing criminal charges. Before joining Crisp and Associates, LLC, Mr. Younts served as an Active Duty Air Force Judge Advocate General (JAG) for ten years and as the senior legal advisor for The Adjutant General of the Pennsylvania National Guard.
