Another reason I consider Chicago a Cesspool. You couldn't pay me to visit Chicago, I can not fathom why anyone would want to live or visit there.

MSgt Dale Johnson I grew up there many years of my youth. I joined the Marines from Chicago, returned after I got discharged but I knew when we had our first child I had to leave the city. I wasn't about to raise my children anywhere in the entire Chicagoland area.

I did like the post but I have some concerns.
1. Is this correct?
Factually so, Yes
2. The article stated, "OIG’s Sexual Allegations Unit (SAU) opened 447 cases..."
Begs the questions of those 447 cases - how many were unsubstantiated, how many were false, how many pled out, how many were prosecuted and how many were found innocent/guilty.
3. The article further states, "the SAU’s ... It has opened 1,735 cases following allegations reported by students, alumni, parents, staff, and others. Of those, it has closed a total of 1,384 cases raising concerns of adult-on-student sexual misconduct, and substantiated policy violations in 302 investigations."
That statement answered some of the questions above but again begs the questions - how many pled out, how many were prosecuted and how many were found innocent/guilty.
4. Lastly here is the final question - In the cases where the persons, (facility/students) were found to have committed the offences, were they punished with the full intent of the regulation, policy or law as they were intended, not some sop for public consumption?

If even a relatively small percentage of these are validated, it is too many

Lt Col Charlie Brown - True, the real issue is the preventive measures, enforcement and punishment required to deter repeats and copycats.
