Fort Bragg Soldier Sentenced to Two Years in Prison, Convicted of Sex Assault and Battery
WTVD reports:
An 82nd Airborne soldier has been convicted of sexual assault and domestic battery and sentenced to two years in prison as well as dismissal from the Army.
Captain Richard Camacho’s sentencing was handed down Friday afternoon, following a week-long court martial on Fort Bragg. Late Thursday, he was found guilty of battery and “forced sex contact,” against his ex-wife, also a former 82nd Airborne soldier. The incident occurred in 2012, following a return from deployment and admission to an affair with a subordinate by Camacho’s then-wife. She testified last week that the soldier had beaten her in their Bunnlevel home after the admission, and that she chose not report immediately because she was concerned about his career and still loved him.
