Retired Air Force Four-Star General Accused of Sexual Assault

I believe there has to be more to this story because why is this allegation coming to light now when this guy has been retired since 2009?:

The Air Force is investigating a sexual-assault report against a retired four-star general who was on active duty at the time of the alleged incident, service officials said Friday.

Details about the case are scant, but Col. Patrick Ryder, an Air Force spokesman, said the service will conduct a thorough investigation of Gen. Arthur J. Lichte, who retired as head of Air Mobility Command in 2009. Ryder declined to provide additional details, saying it would be inappropriate to do so.  [Stars & Stripes]

You can read more at the link, but like I have always said people who have been victims of sexual assault need to immediately report the crime because as time goes by the more difficult it will be to prosecute.  It will be interesting to see how this case proceeds.
