An Army Special Forces colonel who faced five sexual assault charges was acquitted Thursday following a court-martial at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Col. Kevin Russell’s attorney Michael Waddington said the jury deliberated for just over an hour before rendering the verdict.
“We are pleased with the verdict,†Waddington said in an email to Army Times. “Colonel Russell is innocent. He had faith in the system. He had faith in his attorneys. In the end, the truth came out.â€
