A 2-star general, relieved in May from command of the 19th Air Force at Joint Base San Antonio in Texas, has had his charges of sexual assault, extramarital sexual conduct, dereliction of duty and conduct unbecoming referred to a court-martial.
It marks the second time in history that a U.S. Air Force general officer has been formally charged with a sexual crime.
Maj. Gen. Phillip A. Stewart had an Article 32 hearing in October on whether there's probable cause that he violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The Air Education and Training Command (AETC) said Dec. 19 that all of the potential charges reviewed in that hearing will be heading to court-martial. (Military.com 12/19/23) Second Air Force General Ever to Be Charged with Sexual Assault Will Face Court-Martial | Military.com
