Adultery is very hard to prove. You either need an angry spouse/girlfriend/mistress to approach your CoC or if you got someone pregnant, your CoC will know because of a paternity test. Having said that, the first thing you should do is ask your accuser (more than likely your Co Cdr) who the person is that is claiming that you had an extramarital affair, if it's just another Soldier, get a sworn statement from the person who you are supposedly having an affair with. Also, let TDS (your attorney, you will be afforded one) know that you are %100 innocent. If you truly are innocent, you should have nothing to worry about, it will all wash out.
