with a captain and had two other inappropriate relationships with
subordinates was reprimanded and docked $20,000 in pay Thursday, avoiding
jail time in one of the military's most closely watched courts-martial.

plea deal in sex case Associated Press Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, the
former deputy commander of the storied 82nd Airborne Division, was believed
to be the highest-ranking U.S. military officer ever court-martialed on
sexual assault charges. But earlier this week those charges were dropped
when he pleaded guilty to inappropriate relationships by asking the women
for nude pictures and exchanging sexually explicit email with them.
Sinclair, 51, smiled and hugged his two lawyers in the courtroom. Outside
the building, he made a brief statement.
"The system worked. I've always been proud of my Army," said Sinclair, whose
attorney said he plans to retire. "All I want to do now is go north and hug
my kids and my wife."
The case unfolded with the Pentagon under heavy pressure to confront what it
has called an epidemic of rape and other sexual misconduct in the ranks.
As part of the plea deal, Sinclair's sentence could not exceed terms in a
sealed agreement between defense lawyers and military attorneys. The
agreement, unsealed Thursday, called for Sinclair to serve no more than 18
months in jail, but Col. James Pohl's punishment was much lighter.

specifically how he came to the sentence and prosecutors did not immediately
comment. Capt. Cassie L. Fowler, the military lawyer assigned to represent
the accuser's interests, had a grim expression after the sentence was
imposed and declined to comment.
Sinclair's fine breaks down to $5,000 a month for four months. He earns
about $12,000 a month, according to testimony earlier in the week. | xt
