Federal court records show that Rindt was arrested in late 2017 on charges of producing and possessing child pornography. That officer is Chief Warrant Officer 2 John Rindt, according to the file. However, an Army warrant officer who was in Afghanistan in 2010 and is now facing federal child pornography charges recently came forward with information about a shooting he says he witnessed involving a Navy SEAL on loan to his unit, according to the investigative file. The Army told them it had no investigative records involving Gallagher. According to the portion of an NCIS investigative summary obtained by the Union-Tribune, Navy investigators in May 2018 contacted the Army Criminal Investigation Command after interviewing members of Gallagher’s platoon. Gallagher was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 with an Army unit. Gallagher’s defense attorneys also have said they believe some of the witnesses lied to investigators or have changed their stories.
Some of those SEALs said they dismissed those claims as embellishments, if not outright fabrications, the report says. Part of the report was obtained by The San Diego Union-Tribune, with other details confirmed by Parlatore in response to questions about the allegations against Gallagher.Īccording to the NCIS investigative file discussed at multiple court hearings, several members of Gallagher’s platoon told Navy investigators that Gallagher had routinely bragged about killing people - in and out of battle - including that Gallagher allegedly said he got away with shooting the goat herder in Afghanistan. Details of the 2010 shooting are laid out in a Naval Criminal Investigative Service summary report covered by that protective order.
