Army Times

The Army will court-martial a chaplain accused of forcible sodomy and assault.
Capt. Gregory Arflack, a Roman Catholic chaplain with the 279th Base Support Battalion, was arraigned Wednesday, said Maj. Bill Coppernoll, a 1st Infantry Division spokesman. Arflack deferred entering a plea.
Last week, he waived his right to an Article 32 hearing — the military equivalent of a grand jury.
A court-martial date will be set on Sept. 21.
Arflack, 44, was charged in August with three counts each of forcible sodomy and indecent acts, two counts each of fraternization with enlisted service members and disobeying orders, and one count each of indecent assault and conduct unbecoming an officer.
