In April 2015 he was convicted of crimes against his now ex-wife, even with overwhelming evidence of his innocence. This is his story:
In April 2015, Major Anderson was court martialed (military trial) stemming from accusations from his wife after discovering she had an affair. He filed for divorce and was awarded joint physical custody of their daughter, after civilian law enforcement officials found no evidence he committed any crime against his wife. In retaliation she and her mother colluded and falsely reported to military officials that while they were married, he sexually assaulted his wife by rubbing her breasts and digitally penetrated her without her consent.
It was at this time the Judge Advocate General of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Richard C. Harding, passed guidance to military judges that all victims are to be believed, and their cases referred to trial. With no pre-trial confinement, no physical evidence against Major Anderson, and civilian police officers testifying at trial there was no evidence of any crime, a judge alone panel still found Major Anderson guilty and sentenced him to 42 months in prison.
Prior to trial, his wife offered a bribe that if Major Anderson gave her full custody of their daughter, then she would forgo testifying at trial. This bribe violated federal law, 18 USC 201 "Bribing Witnesses and Public Officials" which strictly forbids anyone offering something of value for testimony in a federal proceeding. Major Anderson declined her offer and presented this evidence to his convening authority, but this violation of federal law with overwhelming evidence of motive to fabricate accussations were ignored.
After trial it was also discovered his mother-in-law paid the man his wife had an affair and child with, $100K prior to his testimony about his relationship with Anderson's wife.
Major Anderson was awarded a post trial hearing to evaluate the $100K payment after US Congresswoman Martha Roby submitted a congressional to the Air Force on the payment. The Air Force told Congresswoman Roby the military judge had full authority to order a new trial or dismiss the charges at the post trial hearing, but when witnesses at the post trial hearing perjured themselves, the Air Force reneged on what was told to Congresswoman Roby, and refused to allow Anderson's Attorneys to file a motion for a new trial saying the judge was not authorized.
As evidence of this scandal came to light on the Air Force misleading and lying to a member of Congress, the Secretary of the Air Force, Dr. Heather Wilson, announced her resignation.
It gets worse.
In 2017, it was discovered the Department of Defense in an official report under the Obama administration, admitted to fixing court martials in military sexual assault cases to get guilty verdicts. In other words, the military admitted to manufacturing convictions by prosecuting innocent service members accused of sexual misconduct. Below is a recent TV story Major Anderson had about this report: Here is that story:
