Navy SEAL Chief Keith Barry spent more than 18 years serving his country before being wrongfully convicted of rape and serving two and a half years in prison. He had also been required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and was preparing to live out his days a convicted felon.

Three years after the conviction, and after two failed appeals, it was revealed in 2017 that the convening authority in his case had been pressured to rule against the evidence and to uphold the conviction against Barry in the post-trial clemency phase. Barry was reinstated into the Navy at his last held rank, Senior Chief, and it was ordered that his back pay be restored, as well as his other privileges. He has since retired and begun his civilian life.
