Pretextual Phone Calls in Military Sexual Assault Cases
Pretextual or pretext phone calls are used by investigators in sexual assault cases. Investigators will set up and record a phone call between the alleged victim and the suspect with the goal of soliciting an incriminating response. Steve Shewmaker and Robert Capovilla of the law firm Shewmaker & Shewmaker discuss these calls, how to recognize them and how dangerous they can be.
Hire Us and Get a Team
There’s no point in beating around the bush: If you are accused of a crime under the UCMJ you need representation, and you need it fast. Within days of being accused of wrongdoing, the Air Force will quickly assign your case to investigators from OSI and it will start to collect evidence and build a case against you. Do not be mistaken or lulled into believing that these investigators will be fair minded. Do not be tricked into believing that they want to hear your side of the story and will “clear” you once they have heard your side of it. No, these investigators, like their supervisors, and like senior military commanders are under tremendous pressure from Senators, Congressmen, the worldwide media and even from Hollywood to root out bad actors in the military, splash their faces all over the news, and send them to prison.

“After reporting an act of discrimination against me at work, I was quickly accused of sexual assault by two female accusers. After charges were preferred I did some research and hired Mr. Robert Capovilla. I was facing a special court-martial with 2 charges and 3 specifications.
Robert fully invested himself while working on my case, putting in hours late at night and on the weekends. His experience and foresight can’t not be valued. Although he didn’t guarantee a victory as 2 victim cases are more difficult, he was very confident and an extremely talented litigator. I believe every step of the way he was the best attorney in the room at all time.
Mr. Capovilla was well prepared for trial with great directs and cross examinations. Specifically, during his cross examination of both accusers he was able to point out inconsistencies and impeached them on the stand. Watching him in trial was truly a sight to see. My father who attended the court-martial even said that Robert Capovilla was like Johnny Cochran.
On the 5th day of trial in concluded with a full acquittal. Robert did not end it there. He made sure my integration back to my command was good to go as well. Robert’s work ethic and great litigation ability saved my career. I am extremely thankful for him. I can offer no greater recommendation for an attorney.”

“Mickey and Rob saved both my career and future. I contacted Mickey shortly after I was notified that the Army intended to separate me. Mr. Williams informed me of the steps the Army would make and helped me get my defense packet together. Thankfully I had them on my case because my Army appointed lawyer from TDS tried to get me investigated by CID. Rob was able to get that TDS attorney kicked off my case and got me a TDS attorney from another post. Rob handled all contact with the military prosecution and let me know everything that the Army was doing behind the scene. The Army set a board date that Rob was not able to make because of another trial, so after a conference between Rob, Mickey and I, we decided not to give the Army more time to prepare, and Mickey took up the case. Mickey came down the day before the board to go over all the evidence, character statements, and my testimony multiple times with me. I went into the separation board with a plan of action, confident and prepared. Mickey destroyed the military prosecutor,and the board found me not guilty. I had 12 years of decorated service in special operations. Mickey and Rob saved my career, retirement and VA benefits. I would not trust another law firm with my future on the line. If you find yourself in trouble with the military, contact Mickey and Rob before you say or do anything”
