The officer in charge of the U.S. Air Force’s response to sexual assault was himself arrested for sexual battery this weekend, drawing attention yet again to the extent of rape culture in the armed services.

Lt. Col. Jeff Krusinski is accused of assaulting a woman in an Arlington, VA, parking lot early Sunday morning. According to the police report of the incident, Krusinski approached the woman in question after a night of drinking:

On May 5 at 12:35 am, a drunken male subject approached a female victim in a parking lot and grabbed her breasts and buttocks. The victim fought the suspect off as he attempted to touch her again and alerted police. Jeffrey Krusinski, 41, of Arlington, VA, was arrested and charged with sexual battery. He was held on a $5,000 unsecured bond.

Krusinski is the head of the Air Force’s branch of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program, a Department of Defense initiative to combat sexual assault in the ranks. A spokesperson for the Air Force confirmed to local blog ARLnow.com the man described in the police report is in fact Lt. Col. Krusinski, but gave no further comment. ARLNow also confirmed that the woman and Krusinski did not know each other prior to the encounter.

The Air Force’s response to sexual violence was last scrutinized following a controversial case involving an Air Force general overturning a jury’s sexual assault conviction. That case launched a review of the military’s approach to cases involving sexual assault, resulting in Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel sending Congress a series of recommendations for them to pass into law. As it stands, however, an estimated 19,000 instances of sexual assault occurred in 2011 alone.

this is what happens when men are the ones put in charge of handling sexual assault cases. where are the women? men are the perpetrators in almost every rape, so why are they being given the power to make decisions?

Well, now, not all men are rapists.

lol, I'm not assuming anything. it IS a fact that in most sexual assaults, the perpetrator is a man. putting men in charge of prevention and prosecution of sexual assault (especially in the military, a hypermasculine environment rife with sexual assault, including in larger numbers against men than in the civilian world) is like putting a cat in charge of guarding the mice. it's just asking for trouble, and it smacks of letting male politicians tell women what birth control we can and can't have.

women in the military are raped by their fellow male soldiers in astonishing numbers, and the cases are consistently swept under the rug by the usually all-male higher ups. these women deserve to be safe, and it has become obvious that military men are not at all concerned with the safety of military women. let the women handle these things and watch how quickly shit changes.
