"The villain of this piece is the pratt who could not keep his distaste for this woman to himself, and instead bullied her to a degree that attracted this kind of extreme penalty, and those in the chain of command who failed to address or prevent it".
Jackonico is right. This was a nasty case of bullying by a SNCO of a subordinate and the unit chain of command seems to have done little to prevent or stop it. The SNCO should be CMd.
What I don't like was that the complaint is fast-tracked and given more weight because it was "sexual harassment". I am not comfortable with the sexual and racial discrimination and harassment thing. Harassment, bullying and unfair treatment are all reprehensible and should be stamped on hard. The motivation for the treatment is irrelevant. If she had been picked on because she had a posh accent or pointy ears, her treatment would have been just as indefensible.
