The US Coast Guard covered up more than 100 instances of rape, sexual assault and other sexual misconduct at its Connecticut officer training academy dating back to the 1980s, a secret investigation found.
Some offenders who were pushed out of the academy in connection with the assaults were not discharged from military service, even as their accusers — who were often blamed for drinking alcohol or not resisting forcefully enough — left the academy, the report found. In another case, officials declined to prosecute a cadet accused of raping two women because they determined that he had “used poor judgment” by having sex with one of them “without her consent.”
Other assault survivors reported that their treatment by academy officials in the wake of reporting the attacks affected their personal relationships and careers and left them suicidal, depressed and dependent on medications to help them deal with trauma, CNN reported. “Operation Fouled Anchor” was closed by military leaders, many of whom had who had worked and studied with accused attackers at the US Coast Guard Academy in New London, raising questions about the institution’s culture of abuse and cover-ups, CNN found.
Investigators found some two dozen other more recent sex crime allegations had been ignored or buried by academy leaders, and found some 90 purported assaults from the late 1980s to 2006 were also swept under the rug.
