AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) — Air Force Academy officers who were reassigned over a sex scandal could be punished if it was shown they had failed to take appropriate action in wake of cadet complaints, Air Force Secretary James Roche said Wednesday.
The decision will be made after Roche and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John Jumper review an investigative report into the scandal.
The two will look at whether the commanders should have noticed problems and whether they did anything to make it more difficult for female cadets to report assaults.
