US Pilot Tried in Military Court

An American fighter pilot, Captain Jacob Wulfson, was found guilty of strangling a woman in Cambridge — but the trial didn’t happen in a UK court. Instead, it was held on a US airbase by a military tribunal, sparking outrage and questions about jurisdiction, victim rights, and the role of military courts. The victim, Sarah Steele, described being drugged and assaulted, and felt targeted by the defense’s tactics. Though Wulfson received a six-month sentence, the UK government is now investigating why civilian authorities didn’t intervene and why the case bypassed the Crown Prosecution Service. The Prime Minister and Justice Minister have both called the situation “very concerning” and “really serious,” pledging to review how military and civilian legal systems intersect — especially with US bases operating in the UK. Steele is now demanding clearer protocols to protect victims and ensure justice isn’t compromised by jurisdictional loopholes. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
