AVIANO AIR BASE, Italy — An airman assigned to the 31st Maintenance Squadron was sentenced to 11 months in prison Monday after pleading guilty to aggravated assault in a special court-martial.

Lt. Col. Jennifer Cline, the military judge, also sentenced Airman James J. Allen to a reduction in rank to E-1 and a bad-conduct discharge for his assault on a female airman in his dorm room on base in September.

The prosecution and defense had a pretrial agreement in which Allen agreed to plead guilty in front of a military judge. In return, a potential charge of indecent assault wasn’t brought forward and the trial was limited to a special court-martial, which limits the maximum confinement to one year.

Allen pleaded guilty to biting the female airman multiple times on her arms, breasts and lip and slamming her head against the floor multiple times. The 21-year-old testified that he had had too much to drink that day and doesn’t remember any of the attack.

“After about two shots, I don’t remember anything else,” he told Cline during questioning.
