Army to discharge convicted sex offenders

Created by J.C. on November 20, 2013

Purging convicted sex offenders from the ranks is just one of the steps Secretary McHugh is taking to combat sexual harassment and assault in the Army. For enlisted soldiers, separation proceedings will start even if after their conviction they were evaluated for retention and allowed to stay.

Regardless of rank all the soldiers should be treated the same. This should apply to enlisted soldiers as well as officers not just enlisted.
