A colonel accused of simultaneously romancing scores of women has been reprimanded and penalized $7,000 in pay.
Col. Kassem Saleh, 50, was found guilty of violating military regulations by disclosing sensitive information, committing adultery and engaging in conduct unbecoming an officer. The Army announced the results of the nonjudicial disciplinary proceeding at Ft. Bragg.
Saleh has been in the Army for 29 years. He returned to Ft. Bragg in May after leading reconstruction and humanitarian operations in Afghanistan.
Saleh was accused of simultaneously wooing dozens of women on the Internet and by phone and proposing to them.
