The Quill & Sword | CAAF Chats Ep 66: United States v. Moore; United States v. Hennessy, and United States v. Serjak (C.A.A.F. 2026)

In this episode we discuss the legal and factual sufficiency of evidence considered in Article 120(b)(2)(A) – sexual assault without consent cases in light of CAAF’s recent Mendoza and Casillas opinions. We discuss at length the three legal principles established in Moore to resolve the certified question in all three cases – whether the Air Force Court of Criminal Appeals erred in applying United States v. Mendoza to find appellee’s sexual assault conviction [legally] and factually insufficient.
