A U.S. Army general accused of forcibly sodomizing a junior female officer has agreed to admit guilt on three criminal charges but maintains he is innocent of sexual assault.
Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair is accused of forcing a female subordinate to perform oral sex on him and threatening to murder her family if she disclosed the three-year affair, the Associated Press reports.
Sinclair denies he is guilty of sexual assault but will plead guilty to committing adultery, a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, having improper relationships with to other female officers, and possession of pornography in Afghanistan.
