Air Force officer goes on trial in groping case
The Air Force officer accused of groping a woman outside a bar near the Pentagon went on trial Tuesday morning in Arlington.
Lt.
Col. Jeffrey Krusinski, who had led an Air Force sexual assault response office, faces charges of assault and battery in the May 5 incident. Arlington County prosecutors initially sought sexual battery charges against Krusinski, 42, for allegedly grabbing a woman's breasts and buttocks.
Theo Stamos, the county's lead prosecutor, said a seven-person jury will hear evidence in the trial, which could last two days.
Krusinski's attorney, Barry Coburn, had no comment on the case Tuesday.
Krusinski's case became a rallying point for critics of the Pentagon's efforts to curb sexual assault.
The alleged incident occurred about the same time the military had released a report showing instances of unwanted sexual contact among troops had increased by about one-third to 26,000 incidents in 2012.
