A noncommissioned officer working at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., faces charges tied to allegations that he filmed a female airman without her consent and attempted to film a second unknowing and undressed female airman.

Staff Sgt. Victor Rodgers, assigned to the 10th Medical Support Squadron, will be court-martialed Tuesday at the academy. His seven alleged violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice include videotaping a female airman without her consent, soliciting an airman to place a video camera in a women’s changing room and attempting to film another undressed female airman without her consent. The woman he allegedly taped was using a breast pump at the time.

Rodgers is also charged with wrongfully trying to influence witness testimony before the court-martial and failing to obey his commander’s no-contact orders with witnesses.

Rodgers’ maximum punishment, if convicted on all charges, would be dishonorable discharge, reduction in rank to airman basic, 14 years in confinement and a full stripping of pay and allowances.
