Uniformly Out of Line

摘要

Ten days after an Air Force officer responsible for preventing sexual assault in that service was charged with sexual battery, the Army said it was investigating a sergeant, also responsible for combating sexual assaults, at Fort Hood, Texas, for alleged pandering and "abusive sexual contact." Coming atop a new survey showing that unwanted sexual contact in the ranks jumped 35% from 2010 to 2012, the two cases mean Congress may soon require the Pentagon to investigate such cases outside the sometimes-too-forgiving military chain of command.
