An Air Force major general accused of three sexual misconduct charges was convicted on one charge in Ohio Saturday, the first-ever conviction of a general in the branch's history.
"This case clearly demonstrates the commitment of Air Force leaders to fully investigate the facts and hold Airmen of any rank accountable for their actions when they fail to uphold Air Force standards," said Col. Eric Mejia, staff judge advocate for Air Force Materiel Command. AFMC headquarters is located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

This is the first-ever military trial of an Air Force general and subsequently, the first conviction of a general since the Air Force was established in 1947. He faces seven years in jail, as well as a loss of rank, pay or benefits.
