The officer stated that he had been through a lot, including being accused of defiling the daughter of a military captain, which was shown to be untrue. He was also working as a substitute teacher at a local high school, where the Captain’s daughter, who was 16 at the time, was a student in his class. He considered the woman to be his greatest friend, and he would occasionally accompany her to any destination she desired.
Later on, he became aware that the lady was interested in him, but he also recognized the woman as her mother, and as a result, they became adversaries. She had a falling out with her daughter and decided to send the girl back to their homeland to settle the score. The girl then phoned the military officer, pleading with him to intercede on her behalf, but he refused to comply.
The next day, which was Friday, he received a phone call from one of his coworkers informing him that two females had been to the home seeking for him. When he returned home, the police discovered several items that belonged to the girl, but she was not there in the house. On the next day, he went to the girl’s friend’s house in an attempt to locate her, but she was not there either.
The military officer then attempted to contact the mother, who, like her daughter, did not pick up the phone. During the early hours of Sunday morning, the police arrived at his home and detained him. When he inquired as to the basis for his detention, the police officers informed him that he had been accused of defiling the girl’s daughter by the girl’s mother. He was subsequently hauled to court, where he was found guilty and sentenced to 30 years in jail.
