A post shared on Facebook purports the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s (JAG) Corps named Eli Roth as the Hollywood producer that was recently arrested.

Verdict: False

The claim stems from a satirical website. A Navy JAG spokesperson told Check Your Fact the claim is false.

Fact Check:

The U.S. Navy is under investigation for allegedly denying midshipmen who sought COVID-19 vaccine exemptions their diplomas, according to the New York Post. A group of Republican lawmakers claimed the Navy’s Commandant and their JAG Officer were allegedly responsible for keeping the midshipmen from graduating in a letter to Naval Vice Adm. Sean Buck, the outlet reported.

The Facebook post purports Navy JAG named Roth as the Hollywood producer it recently arrested. The post further claims Roth flew homeless Americans to Albania, where they were tortured and murdered in “ways that would eventually appear in [his] films.”

The claim is false. There are no credible news reports suggesting Navy JAG recently named Roth as the Hollywood producer it arrested or that Roth was involved with the purported crimes. Likewise, the claim is neither mentioned on Navy JAG’s website nor on its verified social media accounts. In addition, Roth has not publicly commented on the claim.

A keyword search reveals the claim stems from a Dec. 4 article published by the website “Real Raw News.” A disclaimer included on the site’s “About Us” page indicates it contains “humor, parody, and satire.”

“This is not true,” a Navy JAG spokesperson told Check Your Fact in an email.

This is not the first time a satirical claim has circulated online. Check Your Fact previously debunked a social media post purporting Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel was hanged by Navy JAG on Nov. 18 at Guantanamo Bay as a result of injuries and deaths caused by the COVID-19 vaccine.
