The DOD IG Report (Part One of Two). The first few paragraphs pretty well lays out the shortcomings of the Navy's efforts to "investigate" Tail Hook.

Part Two of Two.

Then there is the "other" Tail Hook Scandal....the one where politics interfered with the dispensing of "Justice". Where the laws of evidence and due process was denied to those accused of wrong doing in an over reaction to Command failures. The Admirals walked but lesser ranks paid the price.

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy: Kingsley R. Browne, Military Sex Scandals From Tailhook To The Present:The Cure Can Be Worse Than The Disease, 14 Duke J. of Gender L. & Pol'y 749 (2007)

A final link.....one Woman's summary of how all this came to be...and without a doubt she lays out a very damning explanation for what should have been clearly foreseen as a looming disaster by Senior Navy Officials. But...as she and others have noted....SECNAV John Lehman, who got to be a Navy A-6 Crew Member by questionable means....was an active participant in the carrying on!
