Dallas, March 14 (RHC)-- Another U.S. Army official involved in sexual assault prevention has been charged with a related crime. Sgt. 1st Class Gregory McQueen, who runs the sexual assault and harassment prevention wing at Fort Hood, located in the U.S. state of Texas, is accused of setting up a prostitution ring of cash-strapped female soldiers.

McQueen was charged with 21 counts, including pandering, conspiracy, and maltreatment of a subordinate and abusive sexual contact. McQueen’s court-martial comes days after the Army’s top prosecutor for sexual assault cases, Lt. Col. Joseph Morse, was suspended for alleged sexual assault.

Morse and McQueen bring to at least five in the last year the number of Army officers involved in sexual assault oversight to be accused of some of the very same offenses they’re tasked with preventing and punishing.

Last week the U.S. Senate rejected a measure that would have moved oversight of sexual assault in the military outside of the chain of command.
