Former Osan Security Squadron Lieutenant Pleads Guilty
|1LT Jason Davis who was formerly in charge of the Osan town patrol, has pleaded guilty to the numerous charges that were brought before him during his on going court martial:
Air Force 1st Lt. Jason D. Davis pleaded guilty to charges stemming from running illicit police undercover operations; accepting cash from club owners; maintaining illicit sexual liaisons with bar girls; violating the U.S. military’s curfew that his police team had the duty of enforcing; being drunk and disorderly; having sex with women who were not his wife; illegal weapons possession; illegally maintaining an off-base apartment; using racial and ethnic slurs; filing a leave request with false information as to his intended destination; and maintaining an improper relationship with a subordinate airman.
Right now Davis is looking at up to 21 years in prison for his actions. However, he is still waiting to see if the Secretary of the Air Force will approve his request to resign in lieu of a court martial. I highly doubt the request will be approved and since he pleaded guilty already some pre-trial agreement for sentencing has probably already been worked out, which means he will not serve the full 21 years.
The article did shed some light on some of the details of this case, like the weapons charge the Koreans are bringing against him:
In addition, Dooge testified, Davis fired plastic pellets at him from an airgun, locked him for about 30 minutes in the squadron’s women’s dressing room and refused to release him.
Here are some more details that are proving some of the earlier rumors to have some merit:
The court also heard testimony from Lee Hye-chin, who said she got to know Davis while she managed the off-base Zone Club.
Lee testified Davis would pay about $200 to bar fine various female club workers.
And on one occasion, according to Lee, Davis pressured her unsuccessfully to arrange a liaison, free of charge, with bar girls.
He want to have Korean or Russian girls, Lee testified. He want me to hook up for him. He want me to get for him free.
When she declined, she said, Davis raised the possibility that he could use his position as head of the Town Patrol to have the club put off-limits.
Earlier in the proceedings, Davis told Dillow he’d maintained a sexual relationship with Kim Mun-hui, a woman with family ties to another local club.
Kim, Davis said, lavished numerous gifts on him, including a Chrysler Sebring car, a Rolex watch, Louis Vuitton slippers and cash.
We also took a vacation to Guam, Davis told Dillow. I also accepted free drinks from bar owners.
