Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair's sexual misconduct court-martial has been postponed until July, and a source close to the case said one of the pornography accusations against him has been dropped.
A pre-trial hearing for Sinclair is scheduled to begin today at the Fort Bragg courthouse. Three generals may testify this week.
Sinclair, a former deputy commanding general of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, is accused of twice committing a sexual assault on a captain under his command and with whom he had a three-year extra-marital affair. The affair itself is a crime in the military.
Also, Sinclair is accused of additional inappropriate behavior - although none of it was physical - with several other women in violation of military law and of using taxpayer money to pay for personal travel expenses.
