WASHINGTON – Prompted by the disappearance and brutal murder of Spc. Vanessa Guillen, the Army on Thursday named an independent panel of five experts to investigate whether personnel at Fort Hood and the surrounding community have allowed a climate sexual harassment and discrimination to flourish.
The independent review will be led by Chris Swecker, a lawyer and former assistant director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division. The Army has been under fire for its investigation into the disappearance and death of Guillen, 20. She had been missing for two months before her remains were found. Days after she went missing, investigators had focused on Spc. Aaron Robinson as the primary suspect. It took two months to develop evidence to lock him up, and he fled before he could be detained and died by suicide.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., and a member of the Armed Services Committee, is preparing legislation to reform prosecution of sexual assault cases in the military. The measure would also direct the Government Accountability Office to examine the Pentagon's sexual harassment and assault prevention and response programs and its procedures for responding to missing troops.
More than one third of women soldiers at Fort Hood have reported sexual harassment in a survey last month, Army officials told Speier's subcommittee on personnel on Wednesday.
This is how you get results get in their face. I'm proud of the Guillen family. They gatheres up a Convoy and went up to Washington DC, and got an invitation to speak with the President.
