Navy Times:
Lt. Cmdr. Rebecca Dickinson has retired from the Navy with no reduction in rank, despite her admission that she moonlighted as a high-end prostitute for Washington powerbrokers while assigned to the Naval Academy, a Navy spokeswoman confirmed.
In federal court in April, Dickinson testified about her stint as an escort at the trial of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, a California businesswoman known as the “D.C. Madam.” Dickinson said she charged $275 for a 90-minute session, typically keeping $130 for herself and sending $145 to Palfrey.
A Navy spokeswoman confirmed Dickinson’s Oct. 31 retirement after it was first reported by the Web site militarycorruption.com.
In April, the Navy fired her from her job at the Navy Supply Corps School in Georgia, gave her a letter of reprimand and forced her to go on indefinite leave.
A Navy official at the time said the Navy could give her a reduction in rank if it determined that her service as a lieutenant commander was not honorable.
Dickinson’s attorney, Jonathan Gladstone, said federal prosecutors granted
Dickinson immunity earlier this year in exchange for her testimony. That agreement prevented naval authorities from taking Dickinson to court-martial, but provided no guarantees regarding the terms of her retirement.
“This is a very unhappy case for just about everyone who it touched,” Gladstone told Navy Times. “I’m glad to see that efforts were made to not make things any worse than they had to be.”

I hope this case is reopen and this woman tells the truth and how she was blackmailed by the Prosecutor. Some of these woman did go out on their own but there is much more to the set up for Jean and I hope AG Holder let's the truth come out so Jean's name can be cleared.
Wow, how did that happen? Jackie must be right on the money with this one...
Geez, the Navy should have paid that woman more money so she didn't need a second job.
