An Army brigadier general is facing allegations of sexual misconduct for his behavior while overseas, including the military charge of forcible sodomy, the 18th Airborne Corps announced Wednesday.
The military would not elaborate publicly on the nature of the allegations, but defense officials speaking to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity said the officer, identified as Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair, is accused of having inappropriate relationships with several female subordinates.
Sinclair, who served five combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, faces possible courts martial on charges that include forced sex, wrongful sexual conduct, violating an order, possessing pornography and alcohol while deployed, and misusing a government travel charge card and filing fraudulent claims.
