Yet another sexual harassment scandal has been uncovered in one of our nation’s proudest military academies. A sergeant first class on staff at the United States Military Academy at West Point has, according to Army officials, been charged with allegedly filming female cadets without their consent, sometimes when they were undressing in the bathroom or shower, because nothing helps cadets learn the vital importance of military surveillance better than a lascivious superior officer betraying their trust. Moving right along!
The New York Times reports that allegations against Sgt. First Class Michael McClendon come at a particularly inconvenient time for the military, as pretty much every one of its branches has come under scrutiny for mishandling instances of sexual harassment and assault. The Army has so far contacted over a dozen women, alerting them to the possibility that their privacy may have been violated and offering them counseling.
