WASHINGTON - A senior Navy officer has received a written reprimand and requested retirement after an investigation concluded he lied about having an inappropriate relationship while working at the White House in 1990, the Navy said yesterday.
Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem, a career naval aviator, was demoted in rank in March from three-star to two-star level and fired from his senior staff job in connection with the matter.
On Friday, Stufflebeem received a letter of reprimand for having violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice by making a false statement during the investigation. It will now be up to Navy Adm. Gary Roughead, the chief of naval operations, to recommend at what rank Stufflebeem would be allowed to retire.
