I spent 22 years in the military and someonewas definitely railroaded in the situation you describe. The only way civilians can be held to the UCMJ is the situation I showed in my earlier post: As a contractor.
Was this guy's wife a reservist or National Guardsman? Even if she was messing around with someone in housing, the worst they could do to her as a civilian is to kick her out of housing. They have NO jurisdiction over civilians in housing otherwise.
Possibly the ONLY way a civilian could be charged with something is if they committed a felony likemurder aboard a military base. I can't see that happening with adultery. Maybe the military member she was involved with got 10 years, but I can't see how they could charge her with it being a civilian.

Well put Peter I was just going off of a case I saw personally where the spouse (civilian) got 10 years for adultery under the UCMJ while her husband was temporarily assigned to the Army in Iraq. She was held under the UCMJ because they were doing it in base housing.
