FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. - A Missouri drill sergeant is guilty of sexually assaulting and harassing several female soldiers, a military judge ruled Wednesday.

Army Staff Sgt. Angel M. Sanchez would serve a 20-year prison sentence under the judge's recommendation. The sentence must be approved by the post commander.

Sanchez, 30, was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault and six counts of abusive sexual contact at a court-martial Wednesday afternoon. He was found guilty of several lesser charges of maltreatment.

He was accused of using his supervisory position with the 14th Military Police Brigade at Fort Leonard Wood to isolate his victims and win their trust with favors, including cake and ice cream. One woman testified that failing to cooperate would have jeopardized her military status.

Next to Vietnam, the next most unpleasant time I was Basic Training in Ft Leonard Wood in June /July, 1963.

The thing I remember about Ft Leonard Wood? Sand fleas, DIs, Army food and heat.
