Lawyer for Air Force officer charged with rape, adultery says UCMJ is biased

The attorney for a colonel facing charges of rape, assault, adultery and lewd acts has asked a court to throw out the adultery charges, claiming the military justice system is biased against heterosexuals.
Lawyers representing Col. Eugene Caughey, the former vice commander of the 50th Space Wing at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, say at least six charges of adultery are misdirected because the military's law banning extramarital sex only applies to heterosexuals, the Colorado Springs Gazette reports.
Caughey’s case is set for a court-martial in August.
