The closely watched sex assault trial for an Army general is finally set, but it will unfold with lingering questions about the accuser's credibility and without the prosecutor who led the case for nearly two years.

The prosecutor, Lt. Col. William Helixon, had urged that the most serious charges against Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair be dropped because they rely solely on the woman's accusation that he twice forced her to perform oral sex and he believes she lied under oath about crucial evidence in the case.

But those above the seasoned sex crimes prosecutor overrode him, rebuffing an offer from Sinclair to plead guilty to lesser charges.

It is extremely rare for such a high-ranking military officer to face a jury. Under the military justice system, members of the panel must be senior in rank to the accused — ensuring that Sinclair will be judged by a jury of generals.

That jury was expected to be seated in a courtroom at Fort Bragg on Wednesday. Opening statements were set for Thursday.

Helixon was replaced last month after he broke down in tears over the case and a superior officer took him to a military hospital for a mental health evaluation, according to testimony.

what happen ?
Trial starts this week. I'll post updates.

When I served at Fort Bragg there was a young attractive female captain in our section who was regularly summoned to be "mentored" by our general. I always wondered about that.

The General did something that is contrary to the faith a senior is expected to inculcate in a junior.

Just not done.

At the same time, irrespective of rank, there are people who give way to their carnal desires.

If they do, then they must face the consequences, irrespective of rank.
