Stewart is only the second general in Air Force history to face a court-martial. He says his sexual encounter with a subordinate was consensual. Military prosecutors aren’t buying it.

Maj. Gen. Phillip Stewart is in select company, and not in a good way: The former combat pilot is only the second general in Air Force history to face a court-martial.

Stewart is charged with sexually assaulting a female officer last April at an Air Force base in Oklahoma. A month after the alleged incident, Stewart was sacked as head of the 19th Air Force, the service’s pilot training arm headquartered at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph.

    He must have pissed off someone higher up the chain to not have this get swept under the rug.

      Almost certainly was the daughter of another general.
