Military Times: Ex-SAPRO chief heads to trial to face sexual battery charge
The Military Times reports:
The trial for the former chief of sexual assault prevention efforts accused in May of grabbing the breasts and buttocks of a woman in an Arlington, Va., parking lot was set to begin July 18.
Lt. Col. Jeff Krusinski faces up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor sexual battery charge.
The arrest of Krusinski, who had headed the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office at the Pentagon for just two months, came as the Air Force was reeling from a number of embarrassments — including the investigations of dozens of military training instructors at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland on allegations of sexual misconduct and a three-star general’s controversial dismissal of a sex assault conviction.
