Regardless of country or Service, senior officers are getting into trouble and sex is somewhere in the allegations along with some lying to investigators. The Times of India brings us this little piece.
Brigadier loses 10-yr seniority for affair with colonel's wife
The brigadier faced as many as 13 charges, including adultery, falsifying official documents and violation of good order and military discipline[.]
[He] was awarded a 10-year loss of seniority and "a severe reprimand" by a general court martial after he pleaded guilty to committing adultery during the military trial.
"Stealing the affections of a brother officer's wife'' - euphemism for a sexual affair is considered a very serious misdemeanour and unbecoming conduct in the armed forces. Usually, officers indicted for such offence are summarily sacked, sometimes without pension and other benefits. "But the punishment is relatively less in the brigadier's case because he pleaded guilty to the charges," said an officer.See here for an earlier blog, sort of the same subject.
Up until some years ago, the U. S. Navy had a court-martial punishment called 'loss of numbers,' the same principle as applied to the Brigadier here. Someone decided to remove that as a possible punishment--I wonder if they should bring that possible punishment back?
