FORT RILEY — A military jury found a soldier guilty of sexually assaulting a fellow soldier during his court-martial last month and was sentenced to 15 months confinement, officials said Wednesday.

Army Sgt. Trent Goines, 31, who is a petroleum supply specialist assigned to A Company, 101st Brigade Support Battalion, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, was also reduced to the rank of E-1 and given a dishonorable discharge from the military judge presiding over the trial at the Fort Riley Courtroom, according to a report from the Army’s Office of Special Trial Counsel.

Goines and the victim were both serving in Gydinia, Poland, when on June 12, 2022, they went out together after work with another friend. Because the three had consumed alcohol and it was late in the evening, they decided to share a hotel room for the night.
