"The Article 32 hearing against a former commander of Air Force Research Lab has been rescheduled to Feb. 8 at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, an Air Force Materiel Command spokesman confirmed Monday.
In the hearing, a military judge will review a sexual assault charge against Maj. Gen. William Cooley. Counsel for the defense and the accuser participate. The preliminary hearing had been scheduled to convene on Wednesday."
"Don Christensen, a former chief prosecutor for the Air Force and the president of the group Protect Our Defenders, told the Dayton Daily News in November that if the Cooley case goes to court-martial, he will be the first general officer in Air Force history to do so. Protect Our Defenders is an organization that advocates for victims of sexual assault in the military.
“An Air Force general has never been court-martialed,” Christensen said at the time. “It’s a big deal that they’re doing this.”"

If he did it, I sure as hell hope they don't let him go as they have in other cases where they plea deal the charges down to simple assault and the guilty one suddenly retires with his pension securely intact. I think if the man or woman are guilty they should surrender half of their retirement as compensation to the victim or victim!s
