Stars and Stripes: IG to review military handling of sexual assault complaints
Stars and Stripes reports:
The Defense Department’s Office of the Inspector General is set to examine whether military investigations into sexual assault complaints comply with department guidelines.
In a Dec. 20 memorandum issued to the services, the IG stated that it would again seek to evaluate how well military criminal investigation organizations respond to sexual assault claims.
The investigative scope will center on investigations concluded in 2013. The review will determine if military “policies and procedures” comply with DOD and service guidelines and are carried out to conclusion.
