During the sentencing, Judge Advocate Gen Alan Large stated that it was Maj Gen Roddis's duty to remain in control of his actions, highlighting the responsibility of military personnel to uphold standards, even when intoxicated. He emphasized that Roddis's behavior was not only disgraceful but also indicative of a troubling pattern, reflecting poorly on his military career that included both commendations and disciplinary actions.
The judge pointed out the substantial difference between Maj Gen Roddis's impressive military career and his poor service record regarding previous incidents of inappropriate conduct. The nature of the current offense, particularly given its similarity to prior complaints made by female civil servants about sexual questions and conduct, significantly elevated the seriousness of the case, according to the judge's assessment.
