VILSECK, Germany \u2014 A manhunt is under way for a U.S. Special Forces soldier who fled after being convicted of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a German woman.<\/p>\n
Sgt. 1st Class Kelly A. Stewart \u2014 who was found guilty of multiple charges including kidnapping, forcible sodomy and aggravated sexual assault of a woman in an August 2008 incident \u2014 was last seen early Thursday morning by his escort at an on-post hotel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Stewart is clearly a dangerous and violent person and the first priority for the authorities should be to regain control of this individual asap.<\/p>\n
The obvious question remains, how the hell did a guy with a sheet like this manage to escape custody?<\/p>\n
Sgt. 1st Class Detrick Hampton, a member of Stewart\u2019s unit, was sharing a room with Stewart at the Kristall Inn, Vilseck\u2019s on-post hotel.<\/p>\n
At Thursday\u2019s sentencing hearing, Hampton told the military judge that he last saw Stewart before drifting off to sleep early in the morning. When he awoke around 7:30 a.m., Stewart was missing, along with his Class A uniform, wallet, two cell phones and a rented black Audi Q5 SUV, Hampton said.<\/p>\n
It was not clear whether Stewart had a weapon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So I see two possible reasons how a convicted violent felon managed to abscond so easily.<\/p>\n
Either SFC Hampton was complicit in the escape, essentially taking off the cuffs and telling Stewart \u201cIt\u2019s all good bro. Don\u2019t forget to hit my FaceBook page from time to time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Or\u2026<\/p>\n
Hampton is a complete moron who should not be a Sergeant First Class and sure as hell not one wearing a Green Beret.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
