COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Military prosecutors have charged an Air Force colonel in Colorado with rape, assault and adultery, according to court documents.

Col. Eugene Caughey, currently assigned to Air Force Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base, was charged with misconduct dating back to 2013.

Caughey is accused of raping a woman at Schriever Air Force Base, also in Colorado, in late 2014 or early 2015 while "holding her against the wall and floor using physical strength or violence," according to the documents, which were released Thursday.

Prosecutors also said the 23-year Air Force veteran committed adultery several times, photographed his exposed genitals while in uniform, and groped women on two occasions.

1. Well, it's a start.

The evidence must be overwhelming to charge a colonel with anything. I hope the victim gets justice.

2. First time I have read about an Air Force Col. being charged with "rape"

This is a question and a sarcastic one at that......

I have not heard of colonels and generals in the Air Force and Army ever being charged with rape
Do you suppose this person is the "only one" to have committed this crime?
If there are others, then why is this the only one I have ever heard of ?
