This is Part I of a multi-part series on the self-exploitation of young adults in America and the world, and one active duty Sailor creating content and porn (on and off) base.

In our first national investigation into the U.S. Navy’s support, or at least lack of accountability, when it comes to active duty members having side gigs as adult sex workers, we look at the broader picture of self-sexual exploitation. When we were first asked to look into this almost a year ago, we were surprised how quickly the Department of Defense, U.S. Navy, Captain Brent Gaut (pictured left), Commanding Officer of the Aircraft Carrier USS GEORGE WASHINGTON CVN-73, and some congressmen circled the wagons around one U.S. Sailor producing porn on and off base. Engaging in sex work is generally considered conduct unbecoming, but that seems to be waning in a military that has become WOKE in recent years.

The Navy’s porn problem doesn’t start and end with young enlisted Sailors. In 2016, Rear Adm. Richard Williams, who was commander of Carrier Strike Group 15 at the time, was issued a punitive letter of reprimand after he had spent nearly eight hours watching porn on his government computer during a two-day at sea exercise. At the onset of the investigation, Vice Admiral Nora Tyson (pictured right) relieved Williams of duty.

On December 6th of this year, Lieutenant Commander Gregory McLean pleaded guilty to one count of distributing videos depicting the sexual assault of children and one count of unlawful retention of classified national defense information. McLean pleaded guilty to one count of distributing videos showing the sexual assault of children and one count of unlawful retention of classified national defense information.

The policies and regulations regarding the conduct of U.S. military personnel, including rules about engaging in adult content creation or distribution, are governed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and specific branch regulations. The U.S. military generally prohibits the creation or distribution of sexually explicit material by its members, but not in this case of the Sailor assigned to the WASHINGTON.

Such activities could lead to disciplinary actions depending on the circumstances and the military branch. Disciplinary actions may include non-judicial punishment (Article 15), administrative actions, or even court-martial proceedings, depending on the severity of the violation and the impact on good order and discipline. This particular Sailor initially shot his porn on base in his government-assigned housing, which generally results in a higher level of discipline and dismissal from the service.

This Sailor continues to serve onboard the WASHINGTON and routinely updates his 6K followers on his deployments and time away from the camera.
