SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A seven-member jury of military personnel is set to hear closing arguments in the case of a Texas Air Force base instructor facing the most serious charges in a widening sex scandal.
Staff Sgt. Luis Walker is among 12 instructors at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio being investigated for sexual misconduct. The 28 counts against him include rape and aggravated sexual assault.
He could get life in prison if convicted.
Closing statements are set for Friday, a day after prosecutors and defense attorneys both rested.
Jurors heard from female recruits Walker is accused of raping, sexually assaulting or targeting with inappropriate sexual conduct.
The defense called just one witness, a technical sergeant who testified about security cameras and other routine surveillance at the base.
