PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., June 11 (UPI) -- A senior noncommissioned officer at Florida's Patrick Air Force Base has been charged with arranging for an enlisted woman to have sex with several people.
Senior Master Sgt. Michael Sydney is charged with arranging for the woman to have sex with, among others, a lead member of the team in charge of inspecting the base, documents released Friday by the Air Force show.
Sydney -- the top enlisted man at the 45th Security Forces Squadron -- arranged liaisons between the unnamed woman and Chief Master Sgt. Troy B. Parker of Peterson Air Force Base, Florida Today reported.
The woman -- a reservist and staff sergeant on active duty -- reported to Sydney, who allegedly threatened to prolong her active duty tour if she did not perform sexual favors, Florida Today said.
Parker, who is stationed at Space Command headquarters in Colorado, was charged with dereliction of duty and impeding an investigation in connection with the alleged trysts. He pleaded guilty on May 12 to the dereliction of duty charges, and the Air Force dropped the other charge.
