<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nDavid sends us a link to the Washington Post<\/a> which reports that Major General James J. Grazioplene has been called back to duty in the Army so that he can stand for a court martial for crimes that happened over thirty years ago while he was on active duty. The charges are six counts of raping a child over a six-year period.<\/p>\n The Army will hold a probable-cause hearing this weekend at Fort Meade, Md., to review evidence against Grazioplene. In April, the service announced in a terse statement that it had charged the retired general with six counts of rape of a minor but disclosed no other details. Army officials have declined to answer questions about the case since then.<\/p>\n Charging documents obtained by The Washington Post under the Freedom of Information Act show that Grazioplene is accused of committing rape on six occasions between 1983 and 1989 while stationed in the United States and Germany.<\/p>\n According to the charging documents, the rapes occurred at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.; Fort Bragg, N.C.; Amberg, Germany; Bindlach, Germany; and Woodbridge, Va.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Grazioplene retired in 2005. Since the rapes took place in several places over six years, I have to guess that it was a family member who was the victim. We wrote about him in April<\/a> when the Army charged him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
