Five former officers have been on trial since February, accused of helping contractor Leonard Francis bilk the Navy out of at least $35 billion by steering Navy ships to his port operations throughout the western Pacific from 2006 to 2013.
Loveless retired as a rear admiral. He was a captain during his time in the 7th Fleet and an intelligence officer. He is charged with accepting bribes in the form of lavish meals and parties. Some of the events put on by Francis were widely attended by high-ranking naval officers, including Vice Adm. W. Douglas Crowder, who was in charge of the 7th Fleet.
Throughout the trial, defense attorneys have tried to limit testimony that the men slept with sex workers provided by Francis during some of the outings. Judge Janis Sammartino allowed lengthy instructions to the jury, in response to earlier motions for a mistrial.
