Veronika Rodriguez was found guilty on all charges by a jury May 23 after a four-day trial in Lebanon County Court of Common Pleas.
Rodriguez, an airman at Fort Indiantown Gap, had been charged with intercept communications, disclose intercepted communications, and giving false information to a law enforcement officer.
On Jan. 11, 2023, Rodriguez went to Fort Indiantown Gap Police Department to report a sexual assault that she alleged happened on Jan. 8 2023, involving Fahad Pervez, also a soldier at the base.
Rodriguez told police that she and Pervez had non-consensual sex while in his vehicle in the parking lot of the Keystone Conference Center, and that she recorded parts of the incident on her phone.
Pervez was never formally charged in the alleged incident. Police charged Rodriguez with making a false police report and violating Pennsylvania’s two-party-consent wiretapping law.
