U.S. Sergeant Found Guilty of Sexually Assaulting 8 Soldiers 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
A U.S. Army staff sergeant has been found guilty of sexually assaulting
eight female soldiers under his command. Staff Sergeant Angel Sanchez
was found to have used his position as a drill sergeant to threaten
victims and, in one case, grabbing a female soldier by the hair and
forcing her to perform oral sex. During the trial, an Army private said
her company was warned that none of them would graduate if any
additional sexual complaints emerged.
