Will the Army discharge or court martial me?

What actions will the Army take for a officer that has been charged with a felony, but received a pretrial diversion??

The charge was exploitation of a minor and we settled on a pretrial diversion with no plea entered. No child porn involved; I exposed myself in a chat room. My computer was never confiscated and I had forensics run to illustrate I had no child porn, etc... The District Attorney wants me to stay in the army. So what do you think?

It all depends on your chain of command. Hopefully, they'll look the other way and allow the diversion rehab process to simply take its course. If not, you could most likely receive an article 15 and then later be separated for misconduct. So be on your best behavior. Focus on completing your diversion, and moving on with your life. I would also, if you have not already, speak with your local trial defense (TDS) counsel. Good luck.
