May 22 (Bloomberg) -- I have a suggestion about how to helpinstantly reduce sexual assaults in the military. Round up thosein charge of handling sexual-assault cases.
What fertile ground. In the space of two weeks this month,two of the top officers in charge of preventing sexual assaultswere accused in sexual assaults. Lieutenant Colonel JeffreyKrusinski, the officer in charge of the Air Force program, wasarrested in a Washington suburb after he grabbed a woman in aparking lot. An officer in the Sexual Harassment/AssaultResponse and Prevention unit at Fort Hood in Texas, meanwhile,is under investigation for abusive sexual conduct.
