Marine Staff Sgt. James McCoy: Yes, I Sack-Tapped Subordinates
Marine Staff Sgt. James McCoy, who oversaw the training of fresh-out-of-high-school recruits at a Virginia base, pleaded guilty to “mistreating 17 male subordinates by touching them in the groin, repeatedly making offensive sexual comments and gestures, and accusing them of being gay”; the plea deal got him off the hook for 24 other charges, including sexual misconduct and assault. McCoy told the court he engaged in “sack-tapping,” which is exactly what you think it is. He faced 17 years in prison, but “a judge sentenced him to a year in confinement, reduction in rank and a bad conduct discharge.” McCoy’s attorneys argued sack-tapping and gay jokes are standard in the Marines, so what’s the big deal?
“by touching them in the groin, repeatedly making offensive sexual comments and gestures, and accusing them of being gay”
Talk about the pot…………

oh please, my training instructor in the airforce boasted that he would rape a female in case of a nuclear attack-how hideous and he was allowed to say it!
“…the plea deal got him off the hook for 24 other charges, including sexual misconduct and assault.”
Sounds like he went a lot farther than just “touching” and verbal harassment since he plead-out to the lesser charges. While from the one side the Military is coming to grips with the end of DADT and the impending open-service of G/L and what that means for discipline and good order…from the other-side it’s having a rash of “zipper-control” issues with senior troopers and officers abusing their authority for sexual favors and sexual gratification at the expense of their subordinates.
“McCoy’s attorneys argued sack-tapping and gay jokes are standard in the Marines, so what’s the big deal?”
If that is the quality of lawyers this dumbass got, he’s lucky all he got was a year in confinement, reduction in rank and a bad conduct discharge.
Marine Staff Sgt. James McCoy = Butch-homosexual. Relax guys he is one of you and goddamm…how you would love to be in his position!!
Please? . . . Why please? So, that you may use an irrelevant idea and avoid the truth about the disgusting criminal act of Sodomy? . . . The faggot should be doing 20-years to Life in a Federal Penetentiary but he, himself, is probably also a mentally ill homosexual, too. The United States Armed Forces can’t win for losing . . . Obviously!
