The former top NCO for a Fort Hood, Texas-based air defense battalion is set to face court-martial in June over allegations that he had an illegal affair with a subordinate and then lied about it in an official statement.
Sgt. Maj. Tomas Barrios is charged with fraternization and adultery after carrying on an affair with a subordinate, according to a charge sheet provided to Army Times by III Corps officials. He was serving as the command sergeant major for the 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade’s 4th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Regiment when the alleged sexual relationship occurred.

I definitely don't understand anyone who risks a decades long career for sex - and with a subordinate as well. Not even just the cheating but the extreme abuse of power on top of it. It doesn't matter if someone consensually enters a relationship with a superior - there's authority and power that goes along with it.
