Fort Jackson's Brig. Gen. Bryan Roberts Relieved of Command
A statement came from the post about the one-star leader following accusations of misconduct, most notably adultery and his involvement in a physical altercation with a woman who was not his wife.
After 29 years of military service, Fort Jackson's top leader, Brig. Gen. Bryan Roberts was relieved of his command. Roberts took command of the post last year in April 2012 and was suspended in May for adultery and altercation charges.
The one-star general was reportedly in a physical altercation with another woman, not his wife, according to a Huffington Post news report.
Adultery is punishable under Article 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Army documents show, if three legal criteria are met. An Army member must have had sexual intercourse with someone and either the soldier or sexual partner had to be married to another person at the time. Finally, under the circumstances the conduct had to be determined to be counter to good order and discipline in the military or to bring discredit to the armed forces.
