RAF LAKENHEATH, England — A 48th Medical Group field-grade officer has been charged with indecent acts for allegedly sexually assaulting a co-worker’s 10-year-old daughter on her birthday.

Maj. Brandon S. Smith, who serves at the RAF Lakenheath hospital, faces a host of additional charges in connection with a night of alleged drunken misbehavior last July, according to Air Force court records.

Smith allegedly physically assaulted three enlisted airmen and made unwanted sexual advances toward two female enlisted airmen over the course of a night of heavy drinking on July 14 before he allegedly committed the indecent act, records show.

The 10-year-old victim — who will not be identified according to Stars and Stripes’ policy — traveled from the States to testify in during Smith’s Article 32 hearing last month.

She testified that Smith entered her room after midnight, removed her underwear and licked her buttocks. A separate airman testified that he saw Smith leaving the girl’s room without his shirt on.

1. Licked her buttocks, did he?

He must have misinterpreted that.

Fundies (it is required for an AF officer to be a fundamentalist Christian in order to advance) strongly promote the licking of children's buttocks ... with sticks, belts, whips, and tree branches. But I can understand how being drunk might cause some cognitive dissonance.

But we should go easy on him. It's difficult enough to rear one's own child, let alone the child of a co-worker or subordinate. And haven't we all made the same kind of mistake before?

Drinking and pedophile buttock-licking don't mix.
