Anyone?
Why was this tried in a Military court as opposed to a civil court? I realized
it involved a member of the military but isn’t there civil courts to deal with rape also?
as opposed to a civil court?

I guess that should actually be criminal court...

I assume it happened on a military base and the parents reported it through military channels. The military often petitions the local authorities for jurisdiction when incidents happen off base.
Since it involved a military dependent and a Soldier I assume the local authorities didn’t want anything to do with it.
