A high-ranking colonel once honored as a “person who brought honor to the Air Force” is not under investigation following allegations of an attempted sexual assault on a female lieutenant.
Colonel John Doe, who previously led the Air Force’s esteemed special flight team, the Black Eagles, is accused of attempting to sexually assault Jane Doe, one of his subordinates, after a company dinner on October 24. JTBC reported on October 31 that Colonel Doe was honored as a “person who brought honor to the Air Force” but is now facing allegations of attempting sexual assault during a company dinner on October 24. JTBC reported on October 31 that Colonel Doe allegedly acted inappropriately during the evening, drawing significant public scrutiny and raising concerns about the reckless spread of his personal information as people try to determine his identity.
According to Jane Doe, the incident began after dinner when she gave Colonel Doe a ride to his quarters. In the taxi, Colonel Doe allegedly took her hand and pressured her, saying, “If you stay in the Air Force, you’ll see me at least three times.” After they arrived, he attempted to sexually assault her, which she resisted, stating, “I’m only three years older than your daughter. Don’t you have a wife?” Jane Doe escaped and promptly reported the situation to her superior, leading to immediate separation.
However, Jane Doe’s camp claims that other officers at the dinner were pressured to provide favorable testimonies for Colonel Doe and that he recorded conversations with these officers, constituting secondary harm. Additionally, she disclosed that Colonel Doe had harassed her since April.
The Air Force expressed regret over the incident and pledged a thorough investigation into the harassment allegations and any secondary harm that may have resulted from pressuring other officers.
