Coast Guard Commandant Testifies on Sexual Assault & Harrassment at Academy
1 hour, 37 minutesCoast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan testified on the Coast Guard Academy's alleged mishandling of sexual assault investigations during a public hearing before the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. She said, "our failure to share the report with Congress was a mistake that prevented appropriate oversight and further eroded trust," alluding to the Coast Guard's "Operation Fouled Anchor" investigation, which ultimately determined the academy mishandled dozens of sexual assault allegations from the late 1980s until 2006. This investigation happened from 2014 to 2020, but it was not disclosed to Congress or the public until June 2023. Admiral Fagan said the concealment of this report was "a mistake," but not evidence of misconduct, and that she remained committed to proper accountability. She is the Coast Guard's first female commandant and began her tenure in June 2022.
