Marine who filmed nude women in ship’s bathroom obstructed justice, appeals court rules

[Tony]

A Navy appeals court upheld the conviction of a Marine lance corporal who filmed female sailors showering aboard the USS Arlington, then tossed his camera overboard when he was discovered.

A three-judge panel of the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously affirmed Lance Cpl. Steven L. Smith’s conviction of obstruction of justice earlier this month.

His sentence of four months in jail, reduction of rank to private and a bad-conduct discharge was also upheld.
