Beginning in 2010, NCIS had opened an investigation into GDMA potentially overbilling the Navy for husbandry services. Again, emails obtained by investigators appear to be the basis for the case.
In 2011, court documents allege Beliveau took a trip to Bangkok arranged and paid for by Francis.
“In addition, as an extra perquisite of this trip, Francis arranged a female escort to entertain Beliveau,” the complaint says. “According to one email, attaching a picture of this escort, Francis asked: ‘Joyce your kinda Babe’? Beliveau replied, ‘Nice. You bet. Hopefully I’m her kinda guy, hehe.'”
Prosecutors go on to accuse Beliveau of accessing the NCIS database to gather information on the agency’s investigation into GDMA and later advising Francis based on that information.
