University ROTC Master Sgt. Wayne Lawrence has been cleared of allegations that inappropriate relations occurred between him and a female cadet.
Lt. Col. John Wright said investigators found multiple texts between Lawrence, a military sciences instructor and battalion sergeant major, and the student, but there was no conclusive evidence that the relationship was romantic or sexual.
Wright said the investigation is now closed, and no disciplinary action will be taken.
The investigation began in November 2011 after an individual outside of the University’s ROTC program reported misconduct between Lawrence and the cadet.
Lawrence was not available for comment, and the cadet did not respond to The Daily Reveille’s request for comment as of press time.
