An Air Force investigation found at least 48 female students were sexually assaulted by instructors between October 2010 and June 2011. More than 25 officers and trainers have been investigated and many face criminal charges.
The case is among several in which U.S. military officers have been investigated, demoted or fired for poor behavior and sexual improprieties in the past year. Air Force General Edward Rice says the military has to lead in fixing the problems.
"This is a challenge and a problem throughout our society. We hold ourselves to a very high standard in the military and the Air Force, as we should. And so, because this is a challenge everywhere, you know, is no excuse at all for us not to get our arms around this and do better than we have in the past."
The Air Force scandal comes as the NATO commander in Afghanistan, Marine General John Allen, is being investigated for sending allegedly inappropriate emails to a Florida woman.
The Allen investigation began after the FBI found that the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, retired General David Petraeus, was having an extramarital affair. The scandal forced him to resign as CIA director.在美国德克萨斯州的这个饱受美军最严重性虐待丑闻风波影响的空军基地内,军事训练仍在进行中。一项空军调查发现,在2010年10月至2011年6月之间至少有48女性学员被教官性侵犯。已有超过25位军官和教练被调查,(且他们中的)许多人面临刑事指控。
此案为过去一年来数宗涉及美军军官因不良行为和不当性行为而被调查,或被降职,或被开除的案件中的一宗。空军上将爱德华·赖斯表示军方必须在解决该问题起着表率的作用。
“这是贯穿我们整个社会的挑战与问题。在军队和空军中,我们给自己定了一个非常高的标准,我们也确实应该如此。因此,正因为这是个无处不在的挑战,所以我们根本没有任何借口不对此付诸实际行动,而且同时我们需要做得比过去更好。
美国空军丑闻爆发之际,又逢传言北约驻阿富汗指挥官,海军陆战队上将约翰·艾伦因向佛罗里达州的某女性发送不恰当的邮件而受到调查。
关于“艾伦事件”的调查始于美国联邦调查局发现中情局的领导,已退休的戴维·彼得雷乌斯将军有婚外情。丑闻迫使他辞去中情局局长一职。
