A jury composed of five military officers found Wilkerson guilty of aggravated sexual assault in November. Wilkerson, who declined comment for this article through an Air Force spokesman, then was sentenced to a year in the brig and ordered to be removed from the service. In February, however, Air Force Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin reviewed the case, quashed the conviction and dismissed all of the punishments.

The Air Force could have taken the high road and separated these two people (in far-flung locales),” added Stephen Hanks, who plans to speak at the protest, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Mountain Standard Time outside Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. “I have a lot of regard for the Air Force. But this does not represent the best of the Air Force.”
