Defense attorneys say an Army general has agreed to a plea deal that includes the dropping of sexual assault charges against him.
A news release today from lawyers representing Brigadier General Jeffrey Sinclair says that he will plead to lesser charges in exchange for having the sexual assault charges dropped along with two others that might have required Sinclair to register as a sex offender.
The news release says the agreement has been approved and signed by a high-ranking general overseeing the case.
It says Sinclair will plead guilty to several other charges.
