Military policewoman 'performed sex act' on Sergeant Major boyfriend at drunken army party

An army policewoman faced a court martial today over claims she performed a sex act in a crowded barracks bar.

Iraq veteran Nicola Robinson-Humphreys, 24, wept as prosecutors told how a drunken party had ended in disgrace when she allegedly flashed her breasts and performed oral sex on her boyfriend in front of watching officers.

The Red Cap military policewoman and her partner, Sgt Major Alan Robinson, were both charged with disgraceful conduct of an indecent kind.

Witnesses described how the alcohol-fuelled pair had cavorted at the bar of the Military Police Corporals' Mess in Sennelager, Germany, in May last year.

And they told how it was considered 'normal behaviour' for soldiers to get naked or expose themselves during parties in the infamous mess bar - despite the Royal Military Police's motto 'By Example We Lead'.

Military policeman Cpl Keith Wood said: 'There are occasions when there are naked bars and people do get naked at the bar and play stupid games, and people do get exceedingly drunk.

'People flash their buttocks and drop their trousers and that is considered normal behaviour in that mess.'

The couple, who have since married, arrived hand-in-hand at the court martial to hear the charges against them, which they denied.

Prosecutor Lt Col Mark Dakers  said they had both been drinking heavily at a leaving party at the mess bar on May 26 last year.

He said: 'A lot of alcohol was being consumed and then cries went round (of) "Naked Bar" and Robinson exposed himself.

'Cpl Robinson-Humphreys then performed an act of oral sex upon him in front of people in the bar.

'That is not an offence in the privacy of their own home, but to perform an act of that nature in any mess would be disgraceful conduct of an indecent kind.'

Witnesses said Robinson, 35, who has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Balkans and Northern Ireland, had taken his trousers off at the bar and that Robinson-Humphreys then disappeared from view beneath the bar.

The couple are facing a Military Court Martial after allegedly being seen in an uncompromising position

A photograph taken on one soldier's mobile phone showed her face next to the man's exposed groin, the court martial was told.

Cpl Keith Wood, whose farewell party the couple were attending, said one reveller had shouted 'Naked Bar' but that the call had been ignored.

But at the next shout Robinson-Humphreys - one of only two women in the bar - stood on a stool and flashed her breasts, he told the court.

He said: 'Cpl Robinson-Humphreys got on to a stool, opened her blouse and exposed her breasts for a couple of seconds.

'She was wearing a white blouse-type top and a miniskirt.'

Robinson undid his trousers and the pair carried out the sex act, Cpl Wood said, adding: 'People just laughed. It lasted just two or three seconds.

'The next morning they came to my house and asked what had happened in the mess the night before. I don't think they were too aware of what had happened.'

Cpl Lee Davis, another party-goer, told the court martial in Colchester, Essex, that he thought both soldiers had been drunk.

He said: 'Sgt Major Robinson had been drinking and he was drunk, but he was in control. Cpl Robinson-Humphreys seemed to be drunk.'

He said alcohol was very cheap in the mess bar and that soldiers frequently got extremely drunk there.

Robinson-Humphreys, of the Third Regiment Royal Military Police, and her husband Robinson, of the Royal Logistic Corps, both denied the charges.

They are now based in Catterick, North Yorkshire.

Their court martial continues.
