Defense Department watchdog finds former auditor general of the Navy 'engaged in a pervasive and egregious pattern' of sexual harassment
CNN
The Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General found that former Auditor General of the Navy Ronnie J. Booth "engaged in a pervasive and egregious pattern of sexual harassment toward multiple female employees over a period of more than 20 years," a release of the investigation's findings states.
The report "substantiated the allegations" that Booth had sexually harassed 12 women who were Naval Audit Service employees. The Defense Department's inspector general opened an investigation into claims that Booth had sexually harassed employees after the internal watchdog received 10 anonymous complaints alleging "sexual harassment or waste of government funds" by Booth between February and July 2019. The office also received information from a Naval Audit Service employee through Democratic California Rep. Jackie Speier's office. The IG opened an investigation into Booth in July 2019.More Related News
