Politico: Decades behind: Sexual assault unchecked as Defense Department ducks reform

Politico reports:

The case is just one example of what the Pentagon’s own reports have concluded on sex crimes in the ranks: More than 90 percent of them are committed by predators who strike repeatedly, using positions of power, a weak reporting system and the culture of moving service members and officers from base to base every two or three years where they can prey on victims, over and over again.

At the same time, the Pentagon, renowned for keeping statistics on troop movements across the globe, has repeatedly failed over the past 25-plus years to track these bad actors, leaving sexual predators free to move about with little way for their higher-ups to see their history.

Even the Air Force acknowledges the leadership team overseeing Rodriguez had no record of the 2010 complaint.
