Air Force Sexual Assault Scandal Even Worse Than We Thought
If convicted, Sgt. Walker could face life in prison and a dishonorable discharge from the military. One of his colleagues, Staff Sgt. Peter Vega-Maldonado plea bargained down to a 90-day confinement after admitting to having sex with one female recruit. Afterward, he admitted he’d been involved with 9 other female recruits.
So far, 80 Congressmen have called for an investigation into Lackland, but Congressional Republicans have balked, calling the move “congressional theater” and claiming that it would be more prudent to wait until the Air Force finishes its own investigation. Yes, best to let a group rotten with scandal regulate itself. It worked so well for the American financial system.
