A noncommissioned officer was accused of creating a ruse of medical training to order soldiers to undress so he could touch them inappropriately and then order other soldiers to touch them as well, according to court documents.
Staff Sgt. Christopher P. Allen was arraigned Sept. 16 at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., though the allegations against him took place at Fort Carson, Colo., according to his charge sheet. The charges against him include abusive sexual contact of two women; maltreatment of seven subordinate soldiers; indecent exposure involving four soldiers; indecent language; and creating an unduly familiar relationship with a subordinate.
The allegations involved seven soldiers, three women and four men, according to the Office of Special Trial Counsel, which is prosecuting the case.
His trial is scheduled for Feb. 22, according to the online court docket. However, the docket on Friday did not show whether Allen has entered a plea or whether he has selected a jury trial or trial by judge alone.
The alleged medical training occurred between March 24 and July 31, 2025, and also on Aug. 14, 2025, according to the charge sheet.
Allen is accused of using indecent language between June 1-30, 2025, by asking inappropriate questions about a soldier’s sex life and commenting on a woman’s body. He again asked about a soldier’s sex life between Aug. 15-31, 2025, according to the charge sheet.
Allen is assigned to the 296th Brigade Support Battalion within the 7th Infantry Division at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. His service record and his unit of assignment at Fort Carson were not immediately available.
