Stars and Stripes, the news outlet dedicated to stories about the military, is reporting that the Army's top prosecutor for sexual assault cases has been suspended after being accused of committing the very crime he has been tasked to prosecute.

The top Army prosecutor for sexual assault cases has been suspended after a lawyer who worked for him recently reported he’d groped her and tried to kiss her at a sexual-assault legal conference more than two years ago.

Two separate sources with knowledge of the situation told Stars and Stripes that the Army is investigating the allegations levied against Lt. Col. Joseph “Jay” Morse, who supervised the Army’s nearly two dozen special victim prosecutors — who are in charge of prosecuting sexual assault, domestic abuse and crimes against children.

The army has confirmed that an investigation is underway into the allegations. Last year, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski, the former head of the Air Force Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office was acquitted on charges of assault and battery against a woman who claimed he had groped her from behind.

The news comes on the heels of the failure of a Senate bill yesterday that would have removed chain of command in prosecuting sexual assaults, as well as other crimes.
