U.S. Army General Faces Life In Prison For Sexual Assault Charges
ASSOCIATED PRESS May 14, 2013, 7:43 AM
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — A U.S. Army general accused of sexual misconduct is scheduled to return to court.
Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair is set to appear Tuesday for hearings before a military judge considering pre-trial motions.
A court martial for Sinclair is scheduled to begin June 25 on charges that include forcible sodomy, indecent acts, violating orders and adultery. The married father of two faces life in prison. He has thus far deferred entering a plea.
The most serious charges involve a female captain who served under Sinclair’s command in Iraq and Afghanistan with whom he admits having an affair.
