Stop Sexual Abuse and Retaliation at JBLM

by Sexual Abuse Victim at JBLM
Multiple news agencies in Washington State - including KOMO4, KIRO7, Q13, KING5 Lynnwood Times, and the Tacoma News Tribune - are reporting about sexual abuse, scandal, and retaliation against victims of these horrific crimes by the senior leadership on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA.
Stop Sexual Abuse on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, WA
In the news today (Tacoma News Tribune)

"Three Tacoma women say they faced a campaign of retaliation from higher-ups after reporting a supervisor for sexual assault and harassment at Joint Base Lewis-McChord's Madigan Army Medical Center, where they prepared and served meals."

This pattern of harassing and retaliating against those who report crimes by JBLM supervisors and senior personnel needs to stop NOW!

There is a pattern of sexual abuse, harassment and assault on JBLM and it is being covered up by the JBLM Commander. Individuals with evidence of these crimes are barred from accessing post in order to prevent that evidence from being provided to the PMO or CID. We have proof of further misconduct by JBLM supervisors but are unable to access JBLM to speak with investigators!

Victims of harassment and abuse are being denied access to medical care and crisis counseling at Madigan - denied access in retaliation for having reported serious misconduct by JBLM senior personnel.

Emails are ignored and ICE complaints are just dragged into a "Year End Site Review" folder and no action is taken to investigate these concerns. (No doubt this ICE complaint will end up there too.) News media should FOIA all of the ICE complaints in this folder to see just how many complaints of sexual abuse on JBLM are being covered up by the JBLM Commander.

You can help by reaching out to the JBLM Commander through the base Interactive Comment System and demanding that he stop concealing sexual abuse on the military base and that he stops retaliating against those who speak out against crimes committed by JBLM supervisors and senior personnel. https://ice.disa.mil/index.cfm?fa=site&site_id=957&dep=DoD
