Woman describes US pilot’s airbase trial
Sarah Steele, a British academic, criticized the US military justice system after being assaulted by a US fighter pilot in Cambridge. Her case was handled through a US court martial at RAF Lakenheath, where the pilot was convicted of strangulation and received a six-month sentence from an all-male military panel. Steele described the process as distressing, invasive, and foreign, highlighting concerns about how UK authorities delegate cases involving US military personnel and the lack of British legal protections in such court proceedings. She called for greater transparency and scrutiny of the handling of crimes by visiting US forces on UK soil.
