Stars and Stripes
IZMIR, Turkey — Two airmen at Incirlik Air Base were sentenced
last month after courts-martial, with one airman discharged for having child pornography
on his duty and home computers.
On June 8, Senior Airman Edward Dees, with the Incirlik-based 39th
Security Forces Squadron was sentenced to 10 months in prison, followed by his ejection
from the Air Force.
Dees was convicted of having numerous images of child pornography on
both his duty computer and his dorm computer. He was found guilty of looking at — and
storing — obscene and sexually explicit materials on his duty computer.
Dees will receive a bad-conduct discharge after serving his sentence.
He’s currently being held at Incirlik, awaiting transfer.
The courts-marital also reduced his rank to airman basic.
On June 7, Senior Airman Vincent Lemoine, of the 77th Expeditionary
Fighter Squadron, was convicted of stealing the 39th Security Forces Squadron’s
ready-response bus.
Lemoine also was charged with drunken and reckless driving, damaging
three vehicles, as well as Incirlik’s Skills Development Center, and fleeing the
scene of an accident related to the same incident.
Lemoine was accused of causing more than $3,000 damange to the
vehicles and building. He was sentenced to 14 days confinement 30 days of hard labor
without confinement.
The 77th Fighter Squadron commander will define “hard
labor,” according to information provided by the 39th Wing. He served his time and
labor at Shaw Air Base, S.C., where the 77th is based. Lemoine’s rank was reduced to
airman first class, and his drunken joy ride will cost him $400 of pay a month for three
months.
Incirlik, in south-central Turkey, is the base for Operation Northern
Watch, the U.N. mandated no-fly mission over northern Iraq. About 5,000 Americans are
based at Incirlik at any given time, both permanent party, and crews on six-month
rotations.
