United States v. Rollins

United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces
61 M.J. 338 (2005)

Facts

Senior Master Sergeant George E. Rollins (defendant) drove JG, his under-18 brother-in-law, to an adult bookstore and purchased a pornographic magazine for JG. After the two returned to the car, Rollins parked behind a supermarket, handed the magazine to JG, and suggested that they masturbate together while looking at the magazine. JG refused and got out of the car. Rollins was convicted at a general court-martial of committing an indecent act with JG by giving him the pornographic magazine and by suggesting that they masturbate together. On appeal, Rollins argued that his conduct was protected by the First Amendment and that, because JG had refused to masturbate with him, the evidence was insufficient to prove that his misconduct had occurred with another person.
