Army Colonel Gets $975K Settlement in Sex Assault Lawsuit Against Former Joint Chiefs Vice Chair

Retired Army Col. Kathryn Spletstoser filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Air Force Gen. John Hyten, former Joint Chiefs vice chair.
Hyten denied the allegations; the Air Force found insufficient evidence to charge him.
After a lengthy investigation, Spletstoser and the federal government reached a $975,000 settlement.
The settlement ends over four years of investigations into Spletstoser's accusations against Hyten.
Spletstoser hopes her case encourages other military sexual assault survivors to come forward.
