SAN ANTONIO - A woman has testified that a Houston-area Air Force
recruiter forced her to have sex at his recruiting office, despite her efforts
to resist.
The Angleton woman's testimony wrapped up a three-day Article 32 hearing for
Technical Sergeant Jaime (HYE'-meh) Rodriguez at Lackland Air Force Base in San
Antonio. The woman said Rodriguez forced himself on her at his Lake Jackson
office after he locked the door and drew the blinds.
The equivalent of a civilian grand jury proceeding will determine if he's
court-martialed on allegations of sexual misconduct, rape and obstructing
justice. The San Antonio Express-News reports there was no immediate decision on
whether Rodriguez will be court-martialed. Lieutenant Colonel Lynn Schmidt will
decide whether the case against Rodriguez proceeds to a full trial.
