[Sherman A1]

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- The first ever military trial of an Air Force general kicked off in earnest Tuesday with the accused officer's sister-in-law testifying that he pinned her against a car window, forcibly kissed her and groped her in 2018.

Maj. Gen. William Cooley, formerly the head of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, has been charged with violating Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the article prohibiting sexual assault.

During the first day of testimony at Cooley's court-martial, military prosecutors and Cooley's defense lawyers laid out in opening statements the cases they will be presenting to the judge over a trial that could last as long as two weeks.
