CNN has a troubling report here.
This is not just an Academy problem. Normally I would not comment on personnel issues. I have been out of the service for too long to know what is going on, but I am going to make an exception.
If the actions in question happen in the US and if they may constitute a crime under the laws of a local jurisdiction, it would be best to immediately turn the case over to the local authorities. It is the only way to truly insulate the service from charges of a coverup or favoritism, from either the victim or the alleged perpetrator. Not only does it protect the service, but it also means that the staff will not be unnecessarily distracted, performing an investigation they are really ill prepared for.
Sexual harassment may not be a crime, but any of the following probably are: assault, indecent exposure, sexual assault, stalking, illegal recording or photography. That is not necessarily an exhaustive list. Laws are expanding to include exploitation of social media and deep fake technology.
There will still be plenty of opportunities for the command to take action against forms of harassment that do not violate local laws, but that hurt morale and disrupt good order and discipline.
Thanks to Mike for bringing this to my attention.

This topic really gets on my nerves. There is no place for sexual harassment in today’s world nor those who condone it or cover it up.
Unfortunately, as we learned from the study, sexual harassment is often repeated at the Academy regardless of who’s in charge. I firmly believe that if we did not have a female Commandant, this would have just been further covered up and kicked down the road. Until there are consequences for bad behavior, there will be very little/no change.
As with most things, the offenses/actions themselves are bad enough and the coverup makes it worse. I mean, really….. You have an investigation to see what inappropriate actions/behaviors occurred at the Academy and then when that investigation uncovers just how bad it really was, you decide to bury it? The truth always has a way of coming to light, no matter how long it takes.
My apologies for the rant Chuck, but as you can tell, this topic really gets to me.
Good points. Dealing promptly and fairly with sexual harassment greatly improves the workplace – have seen it first hand in private industry. The official CG policy is zero tolerance and they have regular training on recognizing and dealing with harassment, but the reporting, investigation and dealing with the harassment still has problems.
I have a friend that has deployed several times on Cutters and says it is also a significant problem afloat.
As my earlier post noted, sexual assault victims in the military have the choice to seek civilian prosecution and their command is required to notify them of this fact, but in my opinion, civilian prosecution should also be the command’s first choice if it is an option.
Crimes are not a military problem, they are a police problem.
