SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany — A Spangdahlem-based airman was sentenced Monday to four months confinement for her part in a sexual act with two other airmen.
Airman 1st Class Ashley N. Rains pleaded guilty at a court-martial to two indecent acts charges.
She had faced rape and sodomy charges but admitted to the lesser charges as part of a plea deal.
Judge (Col.) Gordon Hammock also sentenced Rains, 22, an aircrew life support specialist with the 22nd Fighter Squadron, to reduction to the lowest pay grade.
She faced a maximum sentence that included as many as 10 years in a military prison, but Air Force prosecutors argued for a lighter sentence of two years.
The alcohol-induced menage a trois on Sept. 24 in Bitburg included a male airman and a female staff sergeant.
But both prosecution and defense lawyers debated whether it was consensual among the three.
Rains and Airman Christopher D. Hicks are the only airmen charged in the incident because the Air Force lawyers said the staff sergeant was too drunk to give consent.
Air Force prosecutor Capt. Mike Felsen said the staff sergeant “appeared drunk” and slipped “in and out of consciousness” while Rains and Hicks performed sexual acts with her.
Felsen argued the staff sergeant, who did not testify during the trial, was vulnerable and Rains and Hicks took advantage of her.
But Rains’ defense attorney, Capt. Matthew King, called the incident a situation involving three consenting adults with “various degrees of intoxication.”
King argued that Rains shouldn’t go to jail for what amounts to a drunken threesome.
“Does she really have to go to jail for this?” he asked.
The Air Force had charged Rains with rape and sodomy, but prosecutors could not prove the more serious charges, King added, therefore, the question of consent isn’t relevant in Rains’ case.
Rains said she was embarrassed by the episode.
“I’ve learned from this mistake,” she said during a statement she read at the trial.
Hicks faces more serious charges.
The airman, who is assigned to the 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron, has been charged with rape and sodomy and will face a court-martial at Spangdahlem Air Base on May 30

couple, Moe and Flo,
both well into their 80's, go to a sex therapist's office.
The doctor asks,
"What can I do for you?"
Moe says,
"Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?"
The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed
that such an elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that he agrees.
When the couple finishes, the doctor says,
"There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse."
He thanks them for coming, wishes them good luck, charges them $50
and says goodbye.
The next week, however, the couple returns and asks the sex therapist to
watch again. The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but agrees.
This happens several weeks in a row.
The couple makes an appointment, has intercourse with no problems,
pays the doctor, then leaves.
Finally, after SIX weeks of this routine, the doctor says,
"I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?"
Moe says,
"We're not trying to find out anything.
She's married, and we can't go to her house.
I'm married, and we can't go to my house.
The Holiday Inn charges $98.
The Hilton charges $139.
We do it here for $50, and I get $43 back from Medicare."

OK here's a "Minnesoda" joke. Ollie was out plowing the back forty when Sven comes by. Olga answers the door and greets Sven. Sven asks "where's Ollie? Olga says he's out plowing. Sven: Olga I always thought you're so pretty, I'll give you $100 if you'll show me your boobs. Olga: No-No Ollie will see us. Sven: No, he's out back, he won't see. Olga: OK but don't touch. She undoes her top and shows Sven her boobs. Sven: They're beautiful, I'll give you $100 if you let me touch them. Olga: NO-NO Ollie will see. Sven: He's out plowing , he won't see anything. Olga: OK but just one hand. Sven: They're so firm and beautiful can I kiss them? I'll give you $100? Olga: NO-NO Ollie will see us. Sven: He can't see anything from the back forty, come on. Olga: OK but just once! Sven finishes and hands Olga the $300. Shortly after Ollie come home and asks "Was that Sven I just saw leaving? Did he drop off the $300 He owes me?"
