Female Airman Punished for Threesome
SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany — A Spangdahlem-based airman was sentenced Monday to four months confinement for her part in a sexual act with two other airmen.

Airman 1st Class Ashley N. Rains pleaded guilty at a court-martial to two indecent acts charges.

She had faced rape and sodomy charges but admitted to the lesser charges as part of a plea deal.

1. It's not a "threesome" if one of the parties is too drunk to consent
It's rape.

From the article: "Air Force prosecutor Capt. Mike Felsen said the staff sergeant “appeared drunk” and slipped “in and out of consciousness” while Rains and Hicks performed sexual acts with her."

If this is true, this airman got off light.

6. Please read the article.
You are confusing the two women involved.
One was the victim. Not this one.

7. Please see my post below.
The OP isn't clear. It becomes clear when you read the article.

5. I don't think so.
I don't think it's clear in the OP:

Air Force prosecutor Capt. Mike Felsen said the staff sergeant “appeared drunk” and slipped “in and out of consciousness” while Rains and Hicks performed sexual acts with her.

Rains and Hicks were the ones charged. Rains is the woman referenced at the beginning of the article. The staff sergeant was the third person - the one who was drunk.
