We\u2019ve featured BG Jeffrey A. Sinclair multiple times here at TAH; past articles are listed at the end of this one.\u00a0 But it\u2019s been a while.<\/p>\n
Well, it looks like the \u201cgood general\u201d didn\u2019t exactly have a good day in court<\/a> recently.\u00a0 Yesterday, he pleaded guilty to multiple charges against him \u2013 including adultery, possession of pornography, attempted fraternization, solicitation of nude photographs from subordinates, and attempting to impede an investigation.<\/p>\n Yeah, I\u2019d say he abused the hell out of his rank and position, and was preying on subordinates.\u00a0 Bigtime.<\/p>\n For those crimes, he\u2019s facing a possible sentence of full forfeitures, Dismissal (for an officer, that\u2019s the equivalent of a Dishonorable Discharge), and up to 15 years in prison.\u00a0 In exchange for his guilty pleas, prosecutors apparently agreed to drop two other charges against Sinclair.<\/p>\n Sinclair\u2019s still fighting the most serious other charges against him – including charges of forcible sodomy and having sex in public places. \u00a0\u00a0He\u2019s also accused of using his rank\/position to prolong his illicit affair with his primary accuser through threats and coercion. \u00a0If convicted on the remaining charges, he faces up to life in prison.<\/p>\n Preying on subordinates and attempting to subvert lawful investigations isn\u2019t exactly the kind of conduct we expect \u2013 and demand \u2013 of senior leaders, \u201cGeneral\u201d.\u00a0 I hope they dismiss your unethical, unworthy ass and send you to Leavenworth for at least a few years.<\/p>\n Thanks to TAH reader SJ for the link to the Reuters story above.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Previous TAH Sinclair articles:<\/p>\n Officers and weird sex<\/a><\/p>\n A Sinclair Update<\/a><\/p>\n Another Sinclair Update<\/a><\/p>\n Sinclair\u2019s PR Site<\/a><\/p>\n The Latest on Sinclair<\/a><\/p>\n The Latest Sinclair Update<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
