Have You Ever Wondered What The Punishment Is For Stolen Valor?

5 Offenders Who Received Creative Punishments For Stolen Valor:

For pretending to be someone they weren’t, these five men paid the price of humiliation by the justice system.
Nowadays, individuals accused of falsely claiming to have served in the military or received military decorations are easily and swiftly humiliated in videos popping up all over the internet. They are ridiculed and chastised for committing acts of so-called “stolen valor” — taking credit for serving in the military, or receiving a medal, that they never earned.

Typically, this humiliation occurs outside of the justice system, since the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 criminalizing stolen valor claims was declared unconstitutional in 2012. However, a new Stolen Valor Act signed into law in 2013 subjects an individual to a fine and/or imprisonment if they demonstrated an intent to receive tangible benefits, such as money or property, from their false claims.

Below are five rare cases where men accused of stolen valor-related crimes faced more creative, and sometimes humiliating, consequences within the legal system.
