Captain Brown arrived at Minot Air Force Base some time before June 2012 and although Air Force duty station assignments are short, he was determined to make the most of his stint in North Dakota. Even in places where the cost of living might be less, it can be helpful to pick up a second stream of income and Brown wasn’t going to be left behind. He had his choice of side hustles - he could join the underemployed military spouses and shill wax melts, essential oils or supplements. But Captain Brown wasn’t interested in your average multilevel marketing opportunities. He wanted to sell something that appealed to him, that might appeal to other men. And he settled on selling people for sex.
I relied on the AFCCA opinions (2017)(2018)(2023), the Ninth Circuit opinion and oral argument..
I referenced information from the Air Force Times, USA Today, Providence Journal, Minot Times, a directory of Ward County high schools. More information on habeas corpus petitions is available on the ACLU's website.
