Sigh: U.S. Navy Officer Jailed For Accepting Lewd Bribes

Cpt.Daniel Dusek is going to prison for 46 months. On top of that, he was ordered to pay a $70k fine and $30k in restitution to the Navy. His crimes: accepting luxury hotel rooms, meals, and prostitutes in exchange for making sure ships docked in certain ports operated by Glenn Defence Marine Asia. This Dusek rascal drank alcoholic beverages and accepted other ‘gifts’ that is said to amount in the tens of millions.

At the center of the scandal are several other nefarious characters that I do not feel like mentioning at the present time. Just know that Cpt. Dusek, at one point, was Deputy Director of Operations of the US 7th Fleet.

The height of Dusek’s crime wave occurred when he had the gall to park the USS Abraham Lincoln at Port Klang, Malaysia, which cost the U.S. gov’t $1.6 million.

“It is truly unimaginable to the court that someone in your position with the United States Navy would sell out based on what was provided to you – hotel rooms, entertainment and the services of prostitutes.”

“Captain Dusek’s betrayal is the most distressing because the navy placed so much trust, power and authority in his hands,” said US Attorney Laura Duffy.
“This is a fitting sentence for a man who was so valuable that his conspirators labeled him their ‘golden asset’,” she added.

No word on whether Cpt. Dusek will be enjoying the luxuries of Asian prostitutes in his new prison cell for the next 46 months.
