The Head of the US Air Force’s Taskforce designed to try to reduce sexual assault in its ranks was arrested and charged with groping a woman.
Since the Air Force has removed him from his post whilst the charges take their course, it’s not as much of a PR disaster as the media thinks. These are tax-funded positions and the officials abusing soldiers, marines, sailors or air force personnel have been promoted, allowed to stay and build up taxpayer-funded fiefdoms where their abuse goes unpunished. Hopefully the Air Force will go a little further than this easy slam-dunk of a case and continue to hunt down the offenders in its ranks, unless it wants more lawsuits from ex-forces personnel.
