rape, attempted rape, robbery and assault with intent to commit rape charges, according to Navy spokesman Brock Vergakis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The charges were connected to an alleged incident involving a woman that took place in Virginia Beach on Feb. 3, 2019, according to Halfacre\u2019s charge sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His civilian attorney, Phil Cave, declined comment on the trial but said Halfacre wants to \u201cget back to taking care of his family and finding work to support himself and his children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The charges for which Halfacre was acquitted involved alleged events that transpired around the same time that then-Chief Halfacre was pleading guilty to patronizing prostitutes in Bahrain, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-navy\/2020\/06\/16\/a-teen-prostitute-in-bahrain-and-the-sailor-who-wanted-to-save-her\/\" target=_blank>one of several

accused him of sexual assault, but those charges were later dropped as part of his plea deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After pleading guilty as part of that agreement with Navy prosecutors, Halfacre was sentenced in March 2019 to 30 months in the brig, a rank reduction to E-1, a bad-conduct discharge and forfeiture of all pay and allowances while in confinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was released from the Navy brig in Chesapeake, Virginia, on Wednesday, after serving the required portion of his prior sentence, Cave said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once he was acquitted on the recent charges, \u201che had to be released,\u201d Cave said in an email Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
