A rape case that was re-investigated after being dismissed by Air Force Lt. Gen. Craig Franklin last year is going to trial.
Maj. Gen. Sharon K.G. Dunbar, commander of the Air Force District of Washington, has referred rape charges against Airman 1st Class Brandon T. Wright, Lt. Col. Kenneth Hoffman, a spokesman for the command, confirmed on Monday.
Wright, accused of raping a sergeant in 2012, is charged with two specifications of rape using force, Hoffman said. No trial date has been set.
Dunbar’s decision followed a recommendation to proceed to trial from an investigating officer who presided over the second Article 32 hearing in the case in January at Andrews Air Force Base, said sources with knowledge of the case but who declined to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss it.
