An Air Force officer was arrested for sexual assault. The remarkable thing is the accused man was the chief of the Air Force sexual assault prevention unit.

The mug shot of Lt. Col. Jeff Krusinski shows signs of struggle on his face. The police report alleges that a drunken Krusinski "approached a female victim in a parking lot and grabbed her breasts and buttocks." The victim fought the suspect off as he attempted to touch her again and alerted police.

News of the incident in the Virginia suburbs of Washington broke the day before the Pentagon is scheduled to release new figures showing a continuing rise in sexual assaults in the military: A six-percent increase from 3,192 to 3,374 reports of sexual assault in fiscal year 2012 compared to the previous year.

Estimates of the actual numbers of what is a notoriously underreported crime go much higher. According to the Pentagon figures, an estimated 26,000 servicewomen experienced unwanted sexual contact, up from 19,300 two year ago -- a number the pentagon says is "unacceptable."

Krusinski has been removed from his job, but that will not change the reality that the Pentagon's own figures show sexual assaults are on the rise in the military.

I look forward to hearing his defence. With the right laywer, I'm sure it could be something astoundingly stupid.

While the fraction of women in the military who are sexually assaulted is higher, it's also very much worth pointing out that the raw number of men who are assaulted exceeds that of women (and is probably even higher due to underreporting).

It's just not hard enough for Americans to get their hands on sexual assault rifles.

Saw it on Military Times: http://www.militarytimes.com/article/20130506/NEWS/305060040/USAF-sexual-assault-prevention-chief-arrested-sexual-battery
It's a bit of a better writeup. Anyway, this guy's a disgrace to the entire USAF. Of all people, he's a person whose job was to prevent what he just did himself. I guess you're supposed to do what he says, not what he does...
