Lt. Cmdr. John Thomas Matthew Lee was a base chaplain at Quantico until he was relieved of his duties in June, according to the Quantico Public Affairs Office. The base is not releasing any further information about Lee or the circumstances that led to the charges. Under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, a general court-martial is the most serious level of military courts and is comparable to a circuit court proceeding.
