Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair pleaded guilty to mistreating his mistress (a captain in the Air Force), adultery, soliciting explicit pictures from female soldiers and other charges. All told, they carry a combined maximum prison sentence of 25 and a half years. However, the judge, Col. James L. Pohl, decided that Gen. Sinclair need not serve jail time nor leave the service. His only penalty appears to be to forfeit $5,000 a month in pay for four months. He will keep his pension and other benefits.
Would a private have received the same punishment?
