Time & time again, members of the military tasked with working to combat sexual assault have been accused & convicted of committing it.
-
-
-
Lt. Col. Michael Kepner spoke at
@USArmy Sexual Assault Awareness Month event even as he was being investigated for assault himself. -
And while Kepner was under investigation & facing courtmartial on sexual assault charges, he remained in command position for several months
-
As Kepner's victim puts it: “There’s no system for senior officers to get investigated," just "senior officers trying to protect themselves"
-
Kepner's victim is right: the lack of accountability as in the case of Kepner, "is why women in the military do not report sexual assault.”
-
WaPo piece documents case of enlisted Army reservist accused of sexual assault of a civilian during a sexual assault prevention conference.
-
After investigating, IG found
@USArmy sexual assault prevention managers “did not fully understand what constituted a sexual assault.” -
Military's failure to vet & train sexual assault prevention officers shows it "doesn't take sexual assault seriously" - Don Christensen, POD
