US Navy investigating Seal officer’s secret life as a porn star
Officer has appeared under the name Jay Voom in at least 29 sex films over seven years with titles such as Apple Smashing Lap Dance
The US Navy is investigating a decorated Seal who moonlights as a porn actor.
The Naval Special Warfare Command wants to know whether Chief Special Warfare Officer Joseph Schmidt III properly obtained permission from his commanders for outside work and whether they condoned his acting career, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
“There are very clear regulations which govern outside employment ... as well as prohibitions on behaviour that is discrediting to the service,” said Captain Jason Salata, a Seals spokesman.
Schmidt, 42, has spent 23 years in the military and holds numerous medals, including a citation
of valour for combat overseas.
He has appeared in recruiting campaigns, even serving as the face of the Seal programme on its website, the Union-Tribune said.
