Over 10% of Mlitary’s Investigations into Sexual Assault Cases may be Flawed

Pentagon special inspector has found that more than 10% of the military’s investigations into sexual assault cases are flawed. The Pentagon report went on to say that the military’s investigative agencies need to improve their techniques for processing crime scenes and collecting evidence.

The report reviewed a sampling of 501 cases of sexual assault in the military and found 56 were deficient for a variety of reasons, including failure to collect key evidence or poor interview techniques. Of the returned cases, the services agreed to reopen 31 cases.
