A lesbian marine in San Diego is expected to be jailed for up to one year after she and her girlfriend allegedly married male colleagues to claim $75,000 in married couple allowances.
Corporal Ashley Vice has been charged with conspiracy, making false official statements, fraud and adultery for allegedly marrying to qualify for financial assistance offered to heterosexual married couples.
Vice said that she married a straight colleague because she wanted to live off base with her civilian girlfriend but could not afford it.
