Gen. Phillip Stewart, the Air Force\u2019s former pilot training boss, faces charges that he assaulted the unnamed woman at Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, in April 2023, as well as accusations that he pursued an unprofessional relationship and flew a plane within 12 hours of consuming alcohol. He pleaded not guilty on all charges, Sherry Bunn, one of Stewart\u2019s civilian attorneys, told Air Force Times in an email Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/your-air-force\/2024\/01\/19\/air-force-general-seeks-retirement-instead-of-court-martial\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7379207.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Air Force general seeks retirement instead of court-martial<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Maj.

The trial is scheduled to begin June 17 at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two-star general will be tried by a jury of his peers rather than by military judge, Bunn said. A panel of potential jurors has already been selected from the Air Force\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/12\/19\/air-force-general-to-face-court-martial-for-sex-assault-other-crimes\/\" target=\"_blank\"> 200 or so generals, lieutenant generals and major generals<\/a> who have served in uniform as least as long as the defendant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January, as Stewart\u2019s case was headed toward arraignment, he filed paperwork with Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall seeking to retire in lieu of court-martial. Attorneys for Stewart did not respond to a question from Air Force Times on the status of that request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Air Education and Training Command spokesperson Capt. Scarlett Trujillo declined to answer whether Kendall had approved the retirement, citing the defendant\u2019s privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/12\/19\/air-force-general-to-face-court-martial-for-sex-assault-other-crimes\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/7379471.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Air Force general to face court-martial for sex assault, other crimes<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Maj.

Stewart deferred entering a plea when he was arraigned in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He faces a minimum sentence of dismissal or dishonorable discharge, or up to 66 years in confinement and forfeiture of pay if convicted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maj.
