Retired Army general charged with rape in Virginia after Army dropped case
Retired Army Maj. Gen. James J. Grazioplene has been charged with rape in Prince William Circuit Court in Virginia. He was arrested on Friday and arraigned on Monday in connection to the alleged assault.
In 2017, he was charged by the Army for raping a minor on multiple occasions between 1983 and 1989. But the case was ultimately dismissed in March by the Army because the statute of limitations for the case had been changed.
Now, part of the case is being pursued in a Virginia court since the state does not have a statute of limitations for rape charges.
