US airman convicted of sexual assault in military trial after British women's allegations

Two British women have detailed their experiences of accusing US airman Tyrion Davis of rape and sexual assault, resulting in a military court proceeding that concluded with a single conviction.

• Rebecca reported alleged rape to Suffolk police in June 2020; the force transferred jurisdiction to the US Air Force within three weeks.
• Emily alleged Davis sexually assaulted her non-consensually in July 2019, and later reported to military investigators in September 2020.
• In June 2022, a court martial composed of Davis's military peers convicted him of one count of sexual assault (non-consensual penetration) and acquitted him of 10 other charges.
• Davis was sentenced to 10 months' confinement, dishonorably discharged, and placed on a sex offender registry; an appeals court upheld the conviction in January 2024.
