'Little to no accountability' | House intelligence committee: CIA failed to properly handle sexual assault claims among its employees

An investigation from the House Intelligence Committee has found the CIA failed to properly manage claims of sexual assault and harassment from its employees.

The bipartisan committee report, released on Monday, says convoluted reporting procudures forced employees who reported incidents of sexual assault to follow a process of “confusion and disorder.”

In a series of eight findings, the committee reports that victims allegedly saw “little to no accountability or punishment for the perpetrators often because of an inadequate investigatory process.”

The intel committee found that this created a culture where employees were reluctant to report cases for fear they would not remain anonymous.
