Army Officer accused of spying on girls

| February 16, 2023

Lieutenant Colonel Jacob Sweatland, who is an Army officer related to ROTC, California Polytechnic State University, called a store and asked if they found his “key fob.” They told him that they found it and that he could come in to get it. However, when he arrived, he saw law enforcement and attempted to get away. Law enforcement caught up to him.

From the Army Times:

Police claim Lt. Col. Jacob Sweatland, 39, called the store in Pismo Beach, California, asking whether anyone had found what he called his “key fob.”

Police were investigating the matter after a preteen girl found the device — and local law enforcement reviewed the contents of the device, which included images from dressing rooms from multiple stores.

Cal Coast News, an online news source for San Luis Obispo County, previously reported on Sweatland’s charges and arrest.

A clerk at the store, working with the police, instructed Sweatland that he could pick up the device from the store. When Sweatland saw law enforcement at the business, he fled on foot, according to the report. It took authorities 20 minutes to track down Sweatland, He was arrested and charged with resisting arrest and invasion of privacy by recording in a dressing room.

Both crimes, according to the report, are misdemeanors. In line with current California laws, Sweatland could be eligible for misdemeanor diversion, according to the report. He would divert his sentence for one year while following all laws and completing a community service requirement.

The Army Times has additional information here.

He saw the kops and broke out in a Sweat.

He had best hope his record reflects plenty of wokeness. It will mean the difference between being allowed to retire or getting the officer equivalent of the bad cookie.

He has already been fired, which means he is done. Creepy fuck.

Whut? So unfair. He can’t help himself. He is ill, suffering from MAP syndrome, Minor Attracted Person.

Unless it’s a Halloween party, those two need to be neutered, THEN “put down”. (SHUDDER….)

I say SHOOT THEM before they mate and lay eggs.

” Police claim Lt. Col. Jacob Sweatland, 39, called the store in Pismo Beach, California, asking whether anyone had found what he called his “key fob.” ”

He should have taken a right turn at Albuquerque, instead of digging for clams at Pismo Beach. Even Bugs knew better, and he was pretty kinky. 🙄 

I hope it was worth it Mr. Former Military Officer.

Sweatland surly be sweating now. No mention of others in the “key fob” video records.

Perhaps he was a thing for trying on women’s clothing in anticipation of a recently vacated Biden administration Department of Energy job when he “lost the fob”. 😜

Perverted, creepy dumbass shoulda stuck with “Sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intents”

Why am I not surprised that being a pervert is a misdemeanor in Commiefornia? I ran out of shocked faces long ago.

5JC

That is the thing. If there are images of naked pre-teens on there it should be a felony. Then it will be off to PYITAP.

UpNorth

Isn’t murder a misdemeanor in Commiefornia?

Got your six, but be careful.

“Spitting out pieces of his broken luck”

That line will hold a lot more meaning for him moving forward I suspect…

SFC D

He’s gonna be spitting a lot more than broken luck.

I thought the J Tull line was “broken lungs” (i.e., the guy had TB)

Nope…broken luck…like Hack Stone and his Magic 8 Ball on Friday afternoons.

He could divert in civilian court.

Hopefully not with UCMJ if the Army does its job.

Fucking Tickle Monster.

How is spying on near naked pre-teen girls not a felony? I know it’s California, but come on.

RGR 4-78

A pre-teen girl found the digital storage device (key fob), the story doesn’t say the ages or sex of the individuals filmed in the dressing rooms.

Jacko23

There was NO digital photos of anyone check the facts

No puns today.

Prior Service

My ROTC cadre only hung out in the office looking at the ladies sunbathing on the roof of the adjacent women’s dorm. Not nearly as creepy, and probably a bit more normal in the early nineties. No cameras involved.

Hey Colonel, THAT SHIT ain’t a-gonna look good on your Resume’, was that truly worth it?

FUCK you sideways with a syphilitic mule cock.

MustangCPT

That syphillitic mule sure is getting a workout today…🙃

If “Cal Coast News” Karen Velie was involved then it is B.S.
She is a convicted Liar, Drunk, has a multi-million Judgement against her for lying, slander, libel and Defamation. Having read the alledged investigation there was NO, photos, NO Pre-Teens around or in the rooms and above all this is all rumors and speculation against a senior Ranking Combat Veteran highly decorated. The DA is Dan Dow, also a Veteran who has been caught Lying, cheating making fake and false charges againt many people and is currently under a probe for many vioaltions of the UCMJ and Army Regulations and has lost several major cases by the two top courts in Calif.

Dave Hardin

I understand that Dan Dow has made public statements against the BLM organization and that seems to have caused a lot of back lash. It appears that BLM may very well be a victim of their own creation. Very few people take that organization seriously anymore.

Dan Dow is not subject to the authority of the UCMJ in any manner so he can not be under a probe for any violations of it.

Karen Velie I know nothing about. She may very well drink, I would venture a guess that she probably does not drink more than I do.

I am not sure what that has to do with charges brought against Jacob Sweatland. There are any number of other credible sources that verify the story, Google is your friend here.

Dan Dow, Is a LTC in CalGuard and JAG Officer he is under the UCMJ, article 133, 88, 107, ++++ he is curently under CID, J-2, G-2 Investigations as a National Security Risk as well as Making Sexual remarks to many young woman under his command.

SOF/Activity

Not so fast, LTC Daniel Lester Dow, US Army JAG does come under the UCMJ as well as US AR regulations and State Penal Codes, Cal-Bar Cannons and ethics. Know the facts before you spread false lies

MarineDad61

MarineDad61

“duel careers”
LOL

Jed D

Remember Dan Dow, refused to Charge a Dirty Crooked Cop, who raped, sodomized, kidnapped a girl in Paso Robles Police Dept., X Sgt. Chris McGuire was a friend of Dow’s so Dow against the Sheriffs Office refused to charge the dirty cop, then Dow lied about his employee Tracy Nix, who lied in court from his office, then you have the fake charges he filed against the BLM people he only charged those of “Color” then it took the 2nd DCA and State Supremen Court to recuse him and his entire office for Racist Misconduct. The List of his corruption in Camp Roberts, Camp San Luis and more. Dow is a “Political” hack and a dirty DA and has failed to obey and follow the UCMJ, Army Regulations and more. His last two Superviosrs MG Baldwin being one were foreced into Retirement for Racism, Homo-phobic comments, Anti- BLM and Conduct ” UNBECOMING OF AN OFFICER AND GENTLEMEN” there is much more to Dow and his antics and he is cleary a National Security Risk and Danger to a “Free” Nation.

Jacko23

We know this Dan Dow he is a known racist, Anti-BLM, dirty DA that is all facts published by the 2nd DCA and now the Supreme court

Jacko23

Read why he was overruled by the 2nd DCA and the Superior courts and Supremene court as well he was was aligned with MAGA and White Arayns ??????????

Jacko23

Where are your FACT’s ? he does indeed come under the UCMJ>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Jacko23

There is NO evidence of what you have said and posted,i read the reports, and NO Evidence exists NONE stop lying

Jacko23

It sounds like you too are an admitted Drunk and there are NO facts or evidence of any Pre-teens, no Photo’s no recording before you make false claims check the facts and evidence

Roh-Dog

It sounds like you too are an admitted Drunk

Whoa there! Pump the brakes, sweetheart.

I notice that most all the posts are from ? People who are either dumb, UN-eduacted, do NOT know any of the facts believe what some blog sites post’s ie;Cal Coast News a fake and convicted slander, libel, defamation person who lives on Welfare, has NO Job, and is NOT a Journalism except in her own mind. Now since LTC J.J. Sweatland is still NOT Guilty he will be entering the US VTC, Military Diversion and will get all the Mental Help he needs, remember Innocent until proven GUILTY. Read the reports no pictures, no camera, no sound, no pee-teens, nothing facts.

Remember he like many others have served our Great Nation for 20 Years as a seniour Officer, multipile Combat Tours in Combat Operations that most of you would never understand.

” He who has not Sinned let he be the first to cast stones” All are guilty of something’s wait for him and the thousands of Combat Veterans who have served in Combat, suffered injuries, wounds and PTSD, let alone served while you sleep free every night. Let the process work that is why we are all free people those who went before us to serve

Ain’t you just a peach?

Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of a second-rate Philippines based troll/PR management farm?

Btws jelly donut, most of us here might be UN-eduacted but you don’t havta rub it in.

5JC

He is right. Every time I leave a camera in a dressing room to perv on teens I feel a little guilty. I mean, not guilty enough to stop; but guilty nones the less. Therefore I shall not cast the first stoner. But once the crowd gets worked I am kicking him in the dingus just to throw them off the scent.

Not sure how he did 20 years as a senior officer but now that I know that I think he might 12% less guilty… or more guilty I mean since he was supposed to setting the example. Certainly I would never understand doing multiple combat tours because jeez, nobody has done that lately. Let’s wave the PTSD flag and thank him for his service…. right after he is fairly sentenced and registered as a sex offender to help him remind him to stay from dressing rooms, schools and day care centers.

Oh and Jacko23, Trace and DDB are totally different people and anyone says otherwise is a damn liar.

….man. Your words, our truth. We should start a support group here, send an invite to Sweatland?

5JC

Absolutely. Real talk with vets helping vets and also no judgment. We get Commisar and Eli Erlick as well. We need a facilitator though. How about John Loveridge, is he available? I call dibs on the Rottweiler mask!

Dave Hardin

I am beginning to like the this Dan Dow guy more every day. Anyone who can cause a sparkle pony to prance around for days on end has to have something going for him.

He reminds me of …me.

5JC

I know we are at step 3, “make counter accusations” but I can’t find anything on this Dan Dow guy about him being investigated for anything.
