As support mounts to move investigations of military sexual assault and harassment out of the chain of command, the most recent investigation into the murder of Spc. Vanessa Guillén at Fort Hood has provided further evidence for those who say military commanders cannot handle cases of sexual harassment in the ranks.
Guillén told several people she was sexually harassed by a supervisor in the summer of 2019, says the U.S. Army Forces Command report, released Friday. Another supervisor noticed Guillén’s demeanor change and asked her if she was OK. Guillén reported the harassment to that supervisor, and shared the incident with a handful of other close peers and her family. The same supervisor who harassed Guillén that summer did so again soon after.
