Very rare for a general--happened only twice in 13 years--especially in a war zone, to face this but here's report from the
Fayetteville Observe. UPDATE More details: Forced sodomy was oral sex with a subordinate, which is now classified as rape. Also multiple charges of adultery.
A Fort Bragg brigadier general has been charged with forcible sodomy
and other offenses involving sex, pornography and alcohol, Army
officials said this morning. The Fayetteville Observer has been monitoring the case and learned of
the charges this morning. Fort Bragg officials will hold a press
conference this afternoon.
"Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair has been charged with multiple
violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice," said Col. Kevin V.
Arata, the 18th Airborne Corps public affairs officer.
Charges include attempted violation of an order, violations of
regulations by wrongfully engaging in inappropriate relationships and
misusing a government travel charge card.
Sinclair was sent back to Fort Bragg from Afghanistan several months
ago while serving as deputy commander of the 82nd Airborne Division
headquarters. The charges are under the Uniform Code of Military Justices, the military legal system.
