Spletstoser v. Hyten, No. 20-56180, 2022 U.S. App. LEXIS 22259 (9th Cir. Aug. 11, 2022)

August 24, 2022

The Feres doctrine (Feres v. United States (1950) 340 U.S. 135, 146) which holds that the Government is not liable under the [FTCA] for injuries to servicemen where the injuries arise out of or are in the course of activity incident to military service does not immunize a general or the Government from liability for the general’s alleged sexual assault upon plaintiff, a servicemember, since no military purpose could conceivably served by such an assault.
